So cute how the possum was like…if I stay really still, he will never see me!! Almost gave me a heart attack with that second one!! Thanks for the explore 😊
That house wasn't that bad. I reckon someone would be able to fix it up. I do a lot of rescue work with both brush and ringtail possums. You're pretty safe during the day as they're usually digesting whatever they foraged at night. But if it's mating season or night time then you'd really have to be careful. If one does jump at your face and caught you by suprise, scruff it, don't throw them, but realease them onto something they need to grab onto. Then run 😁They would've been much more afraid of you. Thanx for another awesome explore 😊
Hi Liana! :-) Wow thanks for the info, I am so glad they just stayed put and waited patiently! lol :-) Usually I hear them scurry away in the ceiling. Well now I know what to do if one jumps at my face! lol I have always been wary of these little fellas lurking. Cheers for watching Liana :-)
I’m in Northern Ireland and I really enjoy your videos. The homes you have filmed are so different to anything here. The architecture in some of the bungalows and other houses is amazing. New homes, on either side of the world, have no character to them. I’ve been binge watching your videos. So, so interesting
@@urbexindigo5164 I’m still catching up. That possum was so cute! Aren’t they bad tempered, or is that koala bears? I’d love to visit Australia. I’m a big Neighbours and Home and Away fan 😂 I watch any and every documentary on the real Australia too. There used to be a documentary called Wanted Down Under where they would take British families to different areas of Australia, and New Zealand as well, who are thinking of moving there. I can only dream 😂
I can not say exactly why, but I really like this house. Maybe it is the fact that it is out away and so quiet. The possums you have in Australia are much cuter than the ones we have here in the USA (Virginia Opossum), so I had to look up information about them. Very interesting animals. While yours may be a bit more cuddly looking, the ones we have here do have two traits which make them very desirable to have around. One, they eat ticks by the hundreds, and two, they are immune to rattlesnake venom and will eat a rattlesnake. Yours appear to be mostly interested in eating plants, while ours seem to prefer dining on small dead animals and insects. We have several barn cats we keep around to keep rodents out of our feed shed (I have a herd of goats) so we keep a bowl of cat food on our back porch for the cats, and the occasional possum will come and dine with the cats at night. The cats don't seem to mind them, and they don't seem to mind the cats.
Cheers Andrew! Great comments :-) Amazing to think they are immune to the venom so cool! Yes my two cats dont seem to worry too much about one at my Mothers place that climbs up in the carport and house roof at night haha. :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 ...... I live in the Texas Panhandle area.in a city and a couple of summers ago there was a opposum that was hanging around my place and at night it would go to my next door neighbors house and climb around on the trellises and eat the cats food. It was a big fat one too. I used to have this old end table that sat out by my front door and I had put a bag of trash on that table and the one small window was open so my cat could get some fresh air and cat kept looking at me then through the screen so I looked out to see 👀 what cat was looking at and it was the opposum in the trash on that d end table. I poked its big fat butt with the broom handle and it backed out of the trash bag and gave me the funniest look and I said hey what are you doing in the trash. It scampered off, this opposum was huge. I've never seen one that big. Opposums usually don't carry rabies either. It hung around for several weeks and went on its way I never saw it again.
Would have been a nice house at one time. Still is in its own way. The kitchen looks awesome. Lampshades with tassles very 1970s. Hooves & Horns magazine.... for every horse lover. Oh man that possum in the laundry room was one thing .. the one in the shed scared the hell out of me too. Love how they freeze up and try to look like they're blending into the wall and hope you don't notice them. EERIE.
Awww, Paul the Possums were just wanting to be petted- just a little scratch,,,,,,,, That house would have been quite nice as a working farmhouse. Not as glamorous as some of the others, but quite pretty in it;s own right. Thanks for risking your life for the pretty little possums :-) -SDK
Paul, I have heard that Australia has a lot of dangerous critters, so it always amazes me how you can walk through all that long grass and brush, not knowing what could be hiding in it.
The possums in the San Francisco Bay Area in the USA where I live are different from those in your video. Our possums are a lighter gray color and have a white face with a longer snout. They also have a lot of sharp teeth. But most possums are fairly docile if they are not threatened or disturbed. Loved the video. Australia has some nice old homes.
Urbex Indigo thanks for sharing this video with me my friend about Abandoned- Eerie secluded farm house with stuff/Shed stuff! 2 Possums on film! it was a really an awesome video i really enjoyed it i am from the U.S.A and i will always watch your videos and show support for your channel and i can't wait to see your next video i hope you will join my channel then i won't have to search for your channel my friend and God Bless and thanks again.
Just makes me wonder about these peoples lives. How peaceful this home must have been for them? If progress wasn’t so thrown in our face all day. I would go back to the horse and buggy in a heartbeat. I know they had their issues back then. But, it just seems to have been a simpler life. Thank you so much for sharing your time and videos. I’m glad that little fella didn’t attack you.
Our American possums look so much different, bare prehensile tails, pointy faces and a fearsome row of teeth, but they'll play dead before they attack. Those possums are cute, maybe they just need a cuddle.
He really is playing possum..lol... I have possums around here and I notice that they are blinded by the light and if I make a noise, they turn tail and get away. But I guess if they felt trapped they might just jump at you....Good grief...that 2nd one...Well done not swearing more..hahaha 1960's kitchen...love the lino.
Three office chairs and three tredle sewing machines. The kitchen looks like they processed food for canning. That pantry is terrific for storing lots of product. I'd agree that those lamp shades were homemade. They were woven around the frame. That fits with that many sewing machines. I could picture a mom and daughters working on projects. Maybe even canvas farm related items too. Busy people on this farm at one time. Really nice home.
I was holding my breath as i spied the possum in the shed not long after you entered, and then the excruciating wait until you saw him/her!! Very entertaining, thanks Paul! Just love your work.
Thanks for the early post to start my day off. Loved the house. Even thru video it had a creepy vibe to it, but cute all the same. You definitely have to watch out for those sneaky little buggers. Quite the jump scare lol, even my cat jumped.
Great explore it must have been cold you were wearing gloves. I remember the other house with the same floor plan. Loved the kitchen. Liked the possum encounters and getting to see what they look like and sitting totally still like it would make them invisible. They are cute compared to the ugly primitive looking possums here in the US. Loved your reactions!
Baaahaaahaaaaa, poss poss's really gave all of us a fright! The house is in remarkably good condition still. Looks to me as if the lady of the house was into crafts and loved to sew. Those lampshades are hand made. Cheers Paul
I wasn't expecting to see another possum in the shed. I was expecting to see another possum in the house, but then I relaxed once you got outside Paul. I jumped a mile high ..... lol!
@@urbexindigo5164 ..... they sure do sneak up on a person! (My sister had a possum family living in her laundry cupboard at her Blairgowrie beach-house for 6 months and they scared me every time!)
I think these possums liked you :) and their instinct told them you are a kind and respectful human and so they didn't jump on you. But what do I know, we don't have possums in France or even Europe (except maybe some stuck in zoos? poor guys...). Thank you for this great explore, Paul! Stay safe always 🥰🍀🍀
G day paul those aussie brush possums made us all jump in our seats, there was was old draught horse harness and collars on the floor of the shed lovely farm house thanks mate..
Paul I was surprised to see two possums in this video because I have never seen one before now. The way it's body was just frozen standing there like a stuffed animal on a shelf, kind of cute and yet funny until you said they attack when up high glad that didn't happen. Loved seeing the old stove and refrigerator. Thanks for this Wednesday video and the excitement of both critters.
They were Brushtail possums, most common and the largest of other species in Australia, they will freeze like that and wont move because they are virtually blind in the daylight, they are not aggressive and wont attack people unless they felt overly threatened, I have one that regularly visits me most nights for food, I can even stroke him on the back, but I wouldn't recommend just anyone doing this unless you know what you are doing as they have extremely sharp claws, and in NSW there is a very rare infectious disease they can carry called Tularaemia. I have raised 2 orphaned baby Ringtail possums, a Swamp wallaby Joey and a baby Koala.
Wow you really scared me lol 😂 thank you so much for being kind to all animals, you always so kindness and respect to them I think it’s fantastic!! Love your videos!!
You are so welcome Creeky :-) Yeah I dont want to cause those cute little possums and distress. They must have been thinking who is this stranger intruding!!!! :-) Cheers for watching
Your possums are cuter than our possums!! (California) 😂🤣😂 But great reaction!!! They definitely did NOT look pleased!! I get a few on my back patio stealing cat food. The desk chairs could have also been used for when using the sewing machines..it's weird they only took the machine and not the treadle that's needed to operate it.
See those type of homes in the countryside here, owners surrenders to time or economics, or loneliness. The aura of the site is thick with melancholy . Nature will move back to where it was excluded. At the turn of the 20th century around 1908-1937, The Catalog co. Sears & Roebuck would sell complete House packages shipped by rail to almost any location in the USA, Could be assembled from an instruction manual. Then, they sold the fittings and furniture to fill them. Makes and interesting comparison to see the AUS Equivalent of a plan home. thanks for recording this one .Cheers
awsome old farm house paul glad you never came across any snakes amongst all that long grass and to be greeted by a possum in the laundry and your right about possums being able to attack you as they do jump so glad it never happened while you were filming but nice exploration with outside water tanks and the big shed and old electrolux fridge with veterinary medecines still in it and old stove was awsome but then being stunned by another possum which was watching every thing you were doing some one must have liked sowing after seeing three singer sowing machine cases in the house enjoyable watching paul cant wait for a next exploration paul.
Wow - those possums were just adorable!! Strange the possums in the US tend to come across bad-ass, hiss and then fall over sideways, rigid, playing possum. Picked many up, put of flea prevention (as they are usually loaded in resident fleas and ticks) and then popped them somewhere safe where they could come out of their coma. Not sure how I would feel with Launching Possums..... Wary, like you! Thanks for the explore. Nice looking sharp water tank....house was unusual..... like you said "eerie" Cheers!
Cool find. Glad you noticed that possum. Those fringe lamp shades are kind of nice. The possum is like hey, this is my house now buddy. Lol. Big kitchen. I love the music intro you choose. It does set the mood.
Good explore. Those darn possums maybe cute but a pain if they decide to move into your house. They sound like a herd of stampeding elephants on the ceiling.
Lovely seeing the possums in this latest upload, but I honestly didn't know (until you explained) that possums will attack if feeling threatened. Whilst I understand that wild animals will run amok if startled, I had no idea that possums will 'go for you' if you get too close - I really am seeing them in a different light now 😶 Thanks again for another great explore 😁
Hi Sarah :-) Possums are generally placid and dont look for aggression but I have heard of them jumping at people. These encountered have actually helped me not fear their reactions more as it seems maybe might light kept them being still too. :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 You cant be too careful with wild animals 😁 A few years ago, whilst I was working abroad - one of my Aussie colleagues told me of a farm he helped out on (as a teenager), somewhere in Victoria. And there was a 'Red' kangaroo that used to make absolute mayhem on the farm if he was in the area - the farm hands nicknamed him "Randy the Red Roo" and this guy would terrorise the animals and workers as it would kick the sh*t out of anyone that got near him. The only way to clear 'Randy' off the farm was a few shots from the farmers gun! 😅 Little is known about what happened to Randy in the end, as he was not seen again after the last gunshots were fired to scare him off 😁
@@urbexindigo5164 I get a lot of wild Brush Tail Possums where I live on a farm, usually they are pretty timid of people, sometimes when I catch them in my chook pen eating the scraps and grain on dusk, they will run up a wooden post and cling there till I walk away, sometimes I will reach up and touch them on their tail, not once has one ever tried to attack me, I find them in the shearing shed sleeping all the time, they just sit there and look down at me, Ive never heard of them jumping at or having a go at people before? perhaps if threatened or something to get away? I have one that comes to my door every night looking for something to eat, he has become so friendly that I can pat him, but l still have to be wary of those claws, he accidentally hooked into my finger when taking a bit of apple once, so now I just throw food on the ground for him..Luv your videos BTW 🙂
The abandoned house of possum surprises. The possums are adorable though and seemed content to be living on that derelict property. I got a fright from your reaction to you discovering another possum in the shed though LOL. Another interesting explore thanks Paul.
hey paul l have had hoofs and horns magzines back in the 70s and 80s R M Williams start ed the magazine back in the md 1940s l think a great aussie horse mags in there day cheers mate...have a good weekend...
OMG you had me so scared after the first possum because I didn't know what the second critter was. When you saw the second one, I nearly fell off my chair 🤣🤣🤣. Great explore. Thanks
When you walk into houses like this one, where you're alone and absolutely no noise, then it becomes more eerie. It's easier for me to watch, but I can't imagine how you must be feeling.
I got to see an adorable Opossum! Such an adorable little thing. Then a bonus Opossum? This is a banner day. Thank you for a most wonderful explore Paul. Waving from Maine.
I’ve tried watching others videos on TH-cam about abandoned homes, they don’t Interest me. Your ones are the most interesting and you work the camera so well too. 😊😊😊😊
Wow, thank you My Room :-) Glad you like them, sometimes I swing the camera a bit fast here and there haha. Thanks for watching, just about to upload a new one! :-)
Watch out for those cows mate and the possum I would of caught him and let him out you had the right gloves on to. Loved the old Singer cabinets dam the sewing machines wern't in there. Those woolen lamp shades looked cool a lot of time would of been spent making them. The shed car stuff and the oven awsome mate reminds me off a few ive seen out and about. Shit I just jumped too mate those possums awsome explore mate.
Our possums act like they will eat you but its all bluff. I have petted quite a few but most people are afraid of their huge mouth full of sharp teeth. In the mid 70s two little boys, one 4yr, one 7yr old hid in a fridge at a camping shack on the property I now own and suffocated before they could be found. We got the property really cheap because of it. That house was still in fairly decent shape for its age but the possums would have to go.
Good morning! Thank you for this adventure. I loved the austerity of the place! The home from the 50's I grew up in had a huge kitchen, with a layout like this. They are so serviceable., And even have a friendly vibe ,in their day. Again, thanks for this, as I am sitting here awaiting a bad storm that's rolling in.
Jeez you've been pumping them out mate 👌..I think it says alot about a shed that has a stove in it,and it did seem almost unnaturally quiet..birdsong wise.thanx for the jump scare lol and the vid xx
Nice old country home would be so peaceful living out there except for the possums staring out at you like that, goord sounds like brown trousers time hahahahaha... Thanks for sharing Cheers MM :)
Those mens jackets hanging in the bedroom cupboard would have been very costly when bought! (My Mum pulled out of their wardrobe a wool jacket very similar last year that belonged to my dad. His Mum bought it for him from Fletcher Jones in Warrnambool before he got married nearly 55 years ago. The thing is is that the jacket is back in style so they gave it to my niece's boyfriend who is 25. He thinks it is very trendy!)
How cute are those possums! They look a lot different than they look here in the states. Truthfully, the first one made me jump but the second one made me jump away from the computer screen! No wonder you are always cautious going into houses and rooms especially when the doors are closed. I love that kitchen especially the pantry! I wish I had one. Thanks for another great explore!
Another great explore Paul.This was a real edge of the seat one with those possums.,!!Thanks for the great commentary and wish you much continued success ✌️❤️
Possums always give a fright! in daylight, at night spotlighting in the bush!! Their eyes are strange when caught in the bright lights😳 Don't worry about the snakes when the cute and cuddly looking critters are what makes us jump😂
I’ve been waiting for a critter to pop up on one of your videos! 🫣Thank goodness it was just a possum. Every time you open a cupboard I cringe! Stay alert.😳
Oh Paul how cute were those possums and have they been residents in the house for long.I did have an uneasy feeling regarding the house.The kitchen was a great size, it's much bigger than what it looks from the outside.
That was a great video!!!! I know possums were a bit nasty, but i didn't know they jump at you!!! Both of these possums looked rather frightened. Yes I dd get a jump scare!!! That kitchen looked so neat and tidy.
Wow! That was one old fridge in the shed! (My 78 year old dad still has a second fridge in the shed that he keeps the animal things in it. The other fridge in the shed - a beer fridge!)
Its calles a swag lamp shade....at least thats what we call them here...I love the table in the kitchen....I think this house is cute....I love a big kitchen
Spot the Undercover Possum. Good game! (For those who do not have to be present.) The first possums pose rather amused me. Looked a bit like it was playing at undercover detectives.
Awww poor little possums. They are so cute!! Probably more scared of you as they usually sleep during the day and don't like confrontation. You must have woken them from their slumber. Had to chuckle with the way that first one was hugging the wall 😂
Never had a possum attack me yet. Used to feed them on my back fence. Have also fed many in the Botanic Gardens in Brisbane. They would sit on our laps to eat the apples we took for them.
great video Paul ,,,"those Possum's they play for dead" we as kids used to say if we play possum the indians won't see us,,,,, yeah kidda you show great respect for a anmals, gud-on-ya m8,,,,,,,, you coming into you winter about now Edwin
OMG LOL. When you said 'oh shit' and backed out, you scared the 💩 outta me haha. Thanks mate 😂😂 Poor possum must have been scared. Holy 💩 again. Scared the bejesus outta me again with that second possum out in the shed. This time it made my heart beat harder LOL. Can only imagine how you felt being there yikes 😆😆 Would be so peaceful living out on the land, except maybe when you come across possums!
Sorry pal but I had to rewind that part with the possum a couple of times it did make me chuckle.. Think that's the fastest I've seen you move all this time I've been watch. 😄
Would be amazing how much that could be cleaned up and used would just look different with a day of a tractor/slasher around the yard and the roof looks in fairly good condition and didn't look to have any structural damage
It's like all animals protect themselves and young, I am 70 and when I and dad came across these animals they were just plassid. So don't be scared. They will stay still until you harass them. Regards Richard Weir in Adelaide 2023
Hi Richard 🙂 cheers mate, yes I have come across several more and they just stay put and be still. I remember as a kid Dad saying one got nasty protecting its young. Cheers for watching 🙂👍

Wow you really scared me lol 😂 thank you so much for being kind to all animals, you always so kindness and respect to them I think it’s fantastic!! Love your videos!!
You are so welcome Creeky :-) Yeah I dont want to cause those cute little possums and distress. They must have been thinking who is this stranger intruding!!!! :-) Cheers for watching
I agree, Paul is very respectful! (Even when the possums scared the bee-jeebers out of him!)
Your possums are cuter than our possums!! (California) 😂🤣😂
But great reaction!!! They definitely did NOT look pleased!!
I get a few on my back patio stealing cat food.
The desk chairs could have also been used for when using the sewing machines..it's weird they only took the machine and not the treadle that's needed to operate it.
The possum is safe, it's the dropbears you need to worry about 😂
Wow! That opossum looked like a statue. I guess abandoned homes attract this kind of wildlife. That woolen lampshade is amazing, as is the kitchen.
Glad you enjoyed it Patrick, cheers for watching! :-)
See those type of homes in the countryside here, owners surrenders to time or economics, or loneliness. The aura of the site is thick with melancholy . Nature will move back to where it was excluded. At the turn of the 20th century around 1908-1937, The Catalog co. Sears & Roebuck would sell complete House packages shipped by rail to almost any location in the USA, Could be assembled from an instruction manual. Then, they sold the fittings and furniture to fill them.
Makes and interesting comparison to see the AUS Equivalent of a plan home. thanks for recording this one .Cheers
Hi Gary :-) Yep I agree this style homes seems to be from a similar Catalogue style order. Cheers for watching :-)
Your right same pattern of houses,I like that kitchen alot. 👍❤️🇺🇸
awsome old farm house paul glad you never came across any snakes amongst all that long grass and to be greeted by a possum in the laundry and your right about possums being able to attack you as they do jump so glad it never happened while you were filming but nice exploration with outside water tanks and the big shed and old electrolux fridge with veterinary medecines still in it and old stove was awsome but then being stunned by another possum which was watching every thing you were doing some one must have liked sowing after seeing three singer sowing machine cases in the house enjoyable watching paul cant wait for a next exploration paul.
Thanks heaps Peter! :-) Many more explores to come :)
Wow - those possums were just adorable!! Strange the possums in the US tend to come across bad-ass, hiss and then fall over sideways, rigid, playing possum. Picked many up, put of flea prevention (as they are usually loaded in resident fleas and ticks) and then popped them somewhere safe where they could come out of their coma. Not sure how I would feel with Launching Possums..... Wary, like you! Thanks for the explore. Nice looking sharp water tank....house was unusual..... like you said "eerie" Cheers!
Heaps of mould in the Living Room ..... on the roof! (I hope you wear a mask when exploring Paul!) It must have been a cold house to live in!
Cool find. Glad you noticed that possum. Those fringe lamp shades are kind of nice. The possum is like hey, this is my house now buddy. Lol. Big kitchen. I love the music intro you choose. It does set the mood.
Good explore. Those darn possums maybe cute but a pain if they decide to move into your house. They sound like a herd of stampeding elephants on the ceiling.
For a second I thought it was a stuffed animal sitting up there he was so still. Lol until you zoomed in
This was a cool place. Not too much vandalism or decay yet.
The possum's are so cute! ♥️
They rarely bite. They get scared very easily. See you next time. 😊
That was one MASSIVE kitchen!
I think the possum in the shed was a momma. She looks full bellied - they carry all of their young in the belly pouch.
Really loved this house. A lot bigger inside, than it looks from the outside. Love all the wood and cabinets. Just a cool place
Another great 👍 video urbex love ❤️ you man stay cool 😎 hahaha hahaha I'd be to afraid 😨 after dark hahaha love ❤️ your humor 😄
Lovely seeing the possums in this latest upload, but I honestly didn't know (until you explained) that possums will attack if feeling threatened. Whilst I understand that wild animals will run amok if startled, I had no idea that possums will 'go for you' if you get too close - I really am seeing them in a different light now 😶 Thanks again for another great explore 😁
Hi Sarah :-) Possums are generally placid and dont look for aggression but I have heard of them jumping at people. These encountered have actually helped me not fear their reactions more as it seems maybe might light kept them being still too. :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 You cant be too careful with wild animals 😁 A few years ago, whilst I was working abroad - one of my Aussie colleagues told me of a farm he helped out on (as a teenager), somewhere in Victoria. And there was a 'Red' kangaroo that used to make absolute mayhem on the farm if he was in the area - the farm hands nicknamed him "Randy the Red Roo" and this guy would terrorise the animals and workers as it would kick the sh*t out of anyone that got near him. The only way to clear 'Randy' off the farm was a few shots from the farmers gun! 😅 Little is known about what happened to Randy in the end, as he was not seen again after the last gunshots were fired to scare him off 😁
@@urbexindigo5164 I get a lot of wild Brush Tail Possums where I live on a farm, usually they are pretty timid of people, sometimes when I catch them in my chook pen eating the scraps and grain on dusk, they will run up a wooden post and cling there till I walk away, sometimes I will reach up and touch them on their tail, not once has one ever tried to attack me, I find them in the shearing shed sleeping all the time, they just sit there and look down at me, Ive never heard of them jumping at or having a go at people before? perhaps if threatened or something to get away? I have one that comes to my door every night looking for something to eat, he has become so friendly that I can pat him, but l still have to be wary of those claws, he accidentally hooked into my finger when taking a bit of apple once, so now I just throw food on the ground for him..Luv your videos BTW 🙂
The abandoned house of possum surprises. The possums are adorable though and seemed content to be living on that derelict property. I got a fright from your reaction to you discovering another possum in the shed though LOL. Another interesting explore thanks Paul.
Hey Julz! Cheers for watching, have more creepy farm one coming! :-)
hey paul l have had hoofs and horns magzines back in the 70s and 80s R M Williams start ed the magazine back in the md 1940s l think a great aussie horse mags in there day cheers mate...have a good weekend...
OMG you had me so scared after the first possum because I didn't know what the second critter was. When you saw the second one, I nearly fell off my chair 🤣🤣🤣. Great explore. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Jen! Haha if I were on a chair when I saw it I would have fell off too! :-)
When you walk into houses like this one, where you're alone and absolutely no noise, then it becomes more eerie. It's easier for me to watch, but I can't imagine how you must be feeling.
The possums in your area are a lot cuter than what we have here in Mississippi. Glad you are ok.
Aussie opossums are cuter than U.S. ones which have longer snouts.
Nice old stove and stuff and a nice old possum lol.
I got to see an adorable Opossum! Such an adorable little thing. Then a bonus Opossum? This is a banner day. Thank you for a most wonderful explore Paul. Waving from Maine.
Not an Opossum, a Brushtail Possum, we don't have those in Australia😊
I’ve tried watching others videos on TH-cam about abandoned homes, they don’t Interest me. Your ones are the most interesting and you work the camera so well too. 😊😊😊😊
Wow, thank you My Room :-) Glad you like them, sometimes I swing the camera a bit fast here and there haha. Thanks for watching, just about to upload a new one! :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 Well I think you do an excellent job. Xx
I love these old farm videos. They remind me of my childhood, Good job !
Glad you are enjoying them Pamela :-)
Watch out for those cows mate and the possum I would of caught him and let him out you had the right gloves on to. Loved the old Singer cabinets dam the sewing machines wern't in there. Those woolen lamp shades looked cool a lot of time would of been spent making them. The shed car stuff and the oven awsome mate reminds me off a few ive seen out and about. Shit I just jumped too mate those possums awsome explore mate.
Cheers Werner! Finally got to show a few possums that I have referred to many times crawling in the ceilings! :-) Thanks for watching mate
Paul I really like that house another great one I understand why you slowly go through doorways too cute possums the second one made me jump
Our possums act like they will eat you but its all bluff. I have petted quite a few but most people are afraid of their huge mouth full of sharp teeth. In the mid 70s two little boys, one 4yr, one 7yr old hid in a fridge at a camping shack on the property I now own and suffocated before they could be found. We got the property really cheap because of it. That house was still in fairly decent shape for its age but the possums would have to go.
Good morning! Thank you for this adventure. I loved the austerity of the place! The home from the 50's I grew up in had a huge kitchen, with a layout like this. They are so serviceable., And even have a friendly vibe ,in their day. Again, thanks for this, as I am sitting here awaiting a bad storm that's rolling in.
Jeez you've been pumping them out mate 👌..I think it says alot about a shed that has a stove in it,and it did seem almost unnaturally quiet..birdsong wise.thanx for the jump scare lol and the vid xx
Hi Adele :-) Yeah been out in the country getting a fair few. Cheers for watching ! :-)
Scared me to death. 😱😅 So very cute though, we don't have anything like that here. 🤗 Thank you for the explore and the cardio.
Nice old country home would be so peaceful living out there except for the possums staring out at you like that, goord sounds like brown trousers time hahahahaha... Thanks for sharing Cheers MM :)
Peaceful spot for sure MM. a bit eerie just how quiet at the start! And the possums too! :-)

Those mens jackets hanging in the bedroom cupboard would have been very costly when bought! (My Mum pulled out of their wardrobe a wool jacket very similar last year that belonged to my dad. His Mum bought it for him from Fletcher Jones in Warrnambool before he got married nearly 55 years ago. The thing is is that the jacket is back in style so they gave it to my niece's boyfriend who is 25. He thinks it is very trendy!)
Hi Claire :-) Glad to hear his old Jacket has found new life! :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 ..... Nick loves it as it is a wool jacket and so warm this Winter!
How cute are those possums! They look a lot different than they look here in the states. Truthfully, the first one made me jump but the second one made me jump away from the computer screen! No wonder you are always cautious going into houses and rooms especially when the doors are closed. I love that kitchen especially the pantry! I wish I had one. Thanks for another great explore!
Hey 👋 Paul!…You’re early today, I just woke up, ready for coffee.😊😎
Yeah early as got things to do early tomorrow :-) Cheers for watching TEV :-)
It was probably one of the houses you could order from catalogs. Sears sold complete houses .Since you see the same layout.
Thank you so much that was nice and the possums well a littel extra 😀
Glad you enjoyed it Laurie :-)
Another great explore Paul.This was a real edge of the seat one with those possums.,!!Thanks for the great commentary and wish you much continued success ✌️❤️
Hi N G, glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :-)
When you jumped the first time I thought maybe it was a snake, then the second time I jumped harder than the first time thought I was going to die 😂
Haha Jo ! :-)
Wow 2 possums!!! Why are they so still?? They pretend to be dead? Great explore! Ya did scare me! Haha 😂
I think the light had made them freeze and stay still also prob have never seen a human before too. Cheers for watching Robyn :-)
Possums always give a fright! in daylight, at night spotlighting in the bush!! Their eyes are strange when caught in the bright lights😳
Don't worry about the snakes when the cute and cuddly looking critters are what makes us jump😂
I’ve been waiting for a critter to pop up on one of your videos! 🫣Thank goodness it was just a possum. Every time you open a cupboard I cringe! Stay alert.😳
Oh Paul how cute were those possums and have they been residents in the house for long.I did have an uneasy feeling regarding the house.The kitchen was a great size, it's much bigger than what it looks from the outside.
Hi Margaret :-) Yeah the possums prob have had many generations in this house :-) I agree the home is bigger than seems also. cheers for watching :-)
That was a great video!!!! I know possums were a bit nasty, but i didn't know they jump at you!!! Both of these possums looked rather frightened. Yes I dd get a jump scare!!! That kitchen looked so neat and tidy.
Cheers Heather :-) I personally have not seen an aggrssive one just heard a few people say so. I have heard them snarl at my cats though haha :-)
Wow! That was one old fridge in the shed! (My 78 year old dad still has a second fridge in the shed that he keeps the animal things in it. The other fridge in the shed - a beer fridge!)
Its calles a swag lamp shade....at least thats what we call them here...I love the table in the kitchen....I think this house is cute....I love a big kitchen
Glad you enjoyed Babbydoll S :-) Thanks for watching
How funny the Brush Tailed Possum scaring you more than you scared it .lol
now that’s some possum magic turning peoples pants a shade of brown 😂
Haha! :-)
I think you were talking about the stove “flue”. (And I think those possums were as surprised as you!😜)
Love it when you're out in the country doing a farmhouse
Spot the Undercover Possum. Good game! (For those who do not have to be present.) The first possums pose rather amused me. Looked a bit like it was playing at undercover detectives.
Awww poor little possums. They are so cute!! Probably more scared of you as they usually sleep during the day and don't like confrontation.
You must have woken them from their slumber. Had to chuckle with the way that first one was hugging the wall 😂
Never had a possum attack me yet. Used to feed them on my back fence.
Have also fed many in the Botanic Gardens in Brisbane. They would sit on our laps to eat the apples we took for them.
Your possums are adorable! Love the country! Thanks!
great video Paul ,,,"those Possum's they play for dead"
we as kids used to say if we play possum the indians won't see us,,,,, yeah kidda you show great respect for a anmals,
gud-on-ya m8,,,,,,,, you coming into you winter about now
Edwin
Hey Ed :-) Cheers for stopping bye again :-)
Oh hahaha hahaha hahaha 😆 great love ❤️ you're kindness to animals ❤️ love you urbex cool 😎
😊 thank you Lita :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 think you urbex for 👍 great videos stay cool 😎 👌
You are so funny !! I feed possums here they never jump !! They are like cats ❤
OMG LOL. When you said 'oh shit' and backed out, you scared the 💩 outta me haha. Thanks mate 😂😂 Poor possum must have been scared. Holy 💩 again. Scared the bejesus outta me again with that second possum out in the shed. This time it made my heart beat harder LOL. Can only imagine how you felt being there yikes 😆😆 Would be so peaceful living out on the land, except maybe when you come across possums!
Sorry pal but I had to rewind that part with the possum a couple of times it did make me chuckle.. Think that's the fastest I've seen you move all this time I've been watch. 😄
🤣👍😁
Wow amazing. Another great video man that sneaky little possom
Glad you enjoyed it BA :-) Yes sneaky and cheeky! Cute though haha :-)
Would be amazing how much that could be cleaned up and used would just look different with a day of a tractor/slasher around the yard and the roof looks in fairly good condition and didn't look to have any structural damage
That would be cool Jenny. Would scrub up well :-)
It's like all animals protect themselves and young, I am 70 and when I and dad came across these animals they were just plassid. So don't be scared. They will stay still until you harass them. Regards Richard Weir in Adelaide 2023
Hi Richard 🙂 cheers mate, yes I have come across several more and they just stay put and be still. I remember as a kid Dad saying one got nasty protecting its young. Cheers for watching 🙂👍
Yes, I jumped too!!!
After seeing that first possum and it scaring the bee-jeebers out of me - my heart was racing - and then I kept thinking & waiting for the next one!
to put up such good work my hat goes off to u keep it up🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much Pamela, glad you enjoyed! :-)
Funny ! 🤔 your fans are here !!!🤓😎🤗
Thanks again for sharing this video 📹. I love 💘 the old house 🏚. Thanks for showing us the possums. So cute I'm glad that they didn't attack you. Stay safe 👌 👍 🙏 ❤ 💓 💙
