Great explore as usual Paul. This home is very similar to ours, and not in really in much worse shape than when we started to renovate it 20 years ago. The Sunshine implement in the yard is a binder, used to produced sheaved hay. The Holden ute is an EK, produced in 1961/62. Very restorable in that condition, l bet you'll have a lot of requests asking where it is! Lots of header parts in the house, and a lot of tyres that are probably a few hard to find sizes! Keep safe and well, look forward to the next video. 🙂
Hi John :-) Cheers for the great info. All the old pieces stored away was like an old museum, hopefully the old tin roof stay where it is. Cheers for watching :-)
Urbex Indigo thanks for sharing with me another wonderful video about Abandoned for decades! Old stuff everywhere. Vintage car and old machinery in sheds! it was a really good video i really enjoyed it so much i will always show support to your channel i am from the U.S.A And God Bless and thanks.
The Holden Ute is a 61- 62 EK, the quarter glass , has the more square corners, the older models had triangle shaped glass, also the side trim on side at front, and the headlights trim, Enjoyed episode Cheers Bevan 🤠❤️🦘🦘🇦🇺
Wow! What a find, the pressed tin, that front door.........and that ute! Something our parents would have driven in their day. Shes a Classic F something model.
That old Holden ute needs saving before the roof comes down, what's left of it is in excellent condition, it's a pity most old farmers won't let them go they just let em rot, great video well done
You can just imagine mom ringing out the clothes with that ringer washer. While the kids are kicking up the dust chasing after the peddle car. That was an unusual mantle on the fireplace. Another nice one , thanks for the video.
What a shame this beauty is left to rot . It would be so nice to see it restored after all its an Aussie icon. Love the old scooter and the machinery, car ect ect . One power ball away 😂😂.
Love it when u film on a blustery day ,just adds that cadence to make it creepy,remote,lonely and lost in history.At around 7.47 mark it sounds like someone talking but its just the wind ..sounds eerie as all get out
Great old home Paul Those old door were ceder befor ceder wood was scarce in the late 1800s. I used to explore old houses as a kid with my brothers in melbourne when the were pulling them down . I was forever onward totally interested in old doors hard ware windows etc. I still visit demolition yards as i did when we renovated an old farm house and got it perfect. These days its hard to get old sash windows and 4 panel ceder doors. I love your explorations. ❤
Love your videos , can tell how much you have learnt by watching some of your older vids ... I can honestly say I will never grow tired of watching them, thank you from Great Yarmouth Norfolk UK x
Hi, love your explores mate👍 the Holden Ute is an FB or EK most likely FB. Think the EK had a bigger air vent grill between windscreen & bonnet? The bonnet mentioned in the tractor tyre room looked to be off a FJ or 48 215 FX Holden. Thought I saw the Ute bonnet over behind the ute against a wall?? Keep up the good work. Cheers😊
🌟Hi Paul, oh my another beautiful old gem love love love it. I want it! Step back in time lots of history if the walls could talk the stories they would tell. Love the tin roof nice when it rains. Love the Holden ute I love Holdens. Thank you so much again ❤😊🌟x
What a great find and dangerous Explore. It's very strange that there are so many farm machines and other things in the house. Thanks for another awesome video and greetings from Germany.
What a lovely homestead. I just google searched the difference between house and homestead and I now know not interchangeable!! I have to admire you for persevering through the house. i would have taken one look and thought nup too hard lol..... for me that was an injury waiting to hapen!!!
Hi Heather :-) yep pretty much any isolated farm home is an old Homestead. There many tricky things to manouver around in this one for sure. Cheers for watching :-)
Cool explore!! I like that Holden truck, looks like the body is still in pretty good shape. I am pretty sure the inline 6 cylinder engine block by the back door of the house was the motor out of it. Thanks for another cool old house!!
Hi Paul This was a cool explore. That old Holden pickup truck was a treat. They seem to load this house up with old junk. They used it as a dumping ground. WOW it hasn’t been lived in since the 70’s that’s 50 some years. It looked to me like that plow said SUNSHINE. It must have been a nice little home before the pigeons claimed it. I always love the tinted glass above and around the door. Looks like who ever owned this home packed up and never came back. All these places you explore Paul are always out in places all by themselves. I guess people like to live on remote farms away from everyone. Nice work Paul. You can make an abandon house sound like a palace. So stay safe and well out there and we will see you in the next one. Cheers!👍🙀
Hi Irene. Yes may have not been lived in even from the 60`s. Yes in comparison to rural Victoria there is far more remote distances between old farms and far drier land. South Australia definitely has the great Aussie outback!!! :-)
FYI ... wikipedia ... Having established an agricultural implement works in Ballarat he moved his factory and many of his employees to Braybrook Junction, in 1906, where he had earlier purchased the Braybrook Implement Works (1904). He named the new enterprise the Sunshine Harvester Works after his Sunshine Harvester, which was one of his major products.
Nice old farmhouse Pitty, it's to far gone.. oooooh, that old Holden Ute.. soooo much want... by looking at that body, it looks well savable. I love to see someone restore it. I love that colour very similar to the Mini I have. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)
Those old brick and fieldstone country farm homes from the early 20th century were quite stately and probably were an indicator of how successful the farmer and his operation was. That old girl would have been a looker in her day!
Hey Paul another old Gem there lots of cool stuff in this one mate the old Mangle washer definately 1950s and the little steel scooter and the old steel go cart fantastic finds im glad you didnt see any snakes around. The pigeons always ruin these awesome places, and yes I have seen the clamshell pressed metal ceiling in some of the old places I have visited recently, must be a common design. Loved the stained glass doors they looked in good condition. The ute was a Holden FJ ute its a classic even the sedan was a cool old classic only seen probably one on my explores cheers for this one mate.
Hey Werner! Cheers mate, though you would prob enjoy this one and the old Holden :-) Glad the old girl is still standing and hopefully hold on for many more decades. Cheers for watching :-)
nice finding paul could just imagine what this old farm must have been like way back in its hey days lots of old stuff left behind with machinary of some kind and the old holden ute looked pretty ok but think for any one into restorations on old cars could deffinatle bring that ute back to its glory and fame thanks for another wonderful share of video paul.😃
That old plow/thing/whatever definitely says sunshine. Ok... Looked it up, Sunshine harvester works....closed in the 1950's when they sold out to Massey Ferguson... What an amazing find!!!
This explore sure would have been a welcome surprise, being greeted with the Victorian symmetrical stone with red brick quoining farmhouse. Interesting items left behind, such as the vintage pedal car and the old Holden ute, hidden in one of the sheds. I really enjoyed viewing this explore thanks Paul. 😊
I love this adventure..fire place and the structure looks cozy..the thick window sills would be a good home for plants..the wood work around the doors was amazing..the colored windows looked calming...what a greeting with with the door and it colored glass..heavenly to see the ceiling with all its design...i always wanted to visit your country...i like your videos...very interesting and entertaining..thank you for a glimpse in your history!!!
Awww thank you for another wonderful explore! That farmhouse was gorgeous! The stone houses have the most beautiful charm and aura about them. I love tin roofs too - all the better to be cosy inside and listen to the rain. All of the treasures inside were amazing like that very old washing machine! I love the pressed tin ceiling and that wallpaper in the kitchen was lovely too! Great finds in the sheds, that Ute was in pretty good condition all around! I know that smell you are talking about too, my grandfather had a Wolseley and it had the same smell forever. ❤ Would love to know what’s under that tarp though 🤭🤣 I love to think of these old farmhouses with families in them, all busy, laughing and happy 🥺 If only walls could talk eh? Thanks again Paul, be safe and take care 😊
Beautiful house, I especially love the front door. Why did you pixelate the newspaper? That old washing maching with the rollers brought back memories. When my mother's top loader washing maching was getting fixed, my dad bought one of these and I did some washing. It's pretty scary pushing clothes through those roller wringers!
The Sunshine binder was built in Sunshine Victoria by H.V.McKay. My father worked there as an apprentice fitter and Turner. One of his jobs was to work on farm machine bought in from areas where there had been bush fires. He had to take them apart then put them back together in working order then send them back to the country. H.V.MCKAY became Massey Ferguson. Good Scottish name.
Wow Ruby thanks so much for the info and recalling your memories. I love hearing and learning from others experiences. The old farm machines are so interesting as well as the homes. Thanks for watching 👍😁
I'll bet that place was really something back in the day. There were some shakers and augers out of a combine harvester in the house. Grain farm maybe? What do they grow in that area? I had to look the old ute up to see what it looked like in good shape. Very interesting video. Stay safe out there exploring
The sizzagy shark fin things in the first room near the tyres are Harvester walkers they walk the straw out of the machine the second rooms "plows" are auger screws flightings out of a harvest comb. The 3rd room with truck tyres has the too fan and screen cover for a sunshine Harvester number 2 I'd guess the number could also be a number 7 Harvester parts. The hay in the very first windows you looked in would be all from the birds making nests . Love the old houses it's a pity they don't ever get rented out before they go bad. Normally one family sells the land and the neighbours buy the land and already have a established house so the newly purchased home stays empty unfortunately in my experience.
I'm guessing these old gems were built by the strong Scottish. Irish and English who came to Australia in prosperous times. Bringing with them skills worthy to build these grand houses. Cheers to our ancestors.
The front door is so elegant along with lovely woodwork and trims. That home was built with a lot of care. But that blue truck! The shape of it is so beautiful and draws attention to the seriously curved glass windshields front and back. The original paint would glow with a proper professional clean up. Curved auto glass puts it after 1934. It must have been well loved to still be sitting protected inside a stone structure. So happy you found it. Gravity will take it down soon as the walls are so compromised. Thank you! (I hope you keep up your tetanus shots).
I would hope that somewhere, an old station or farmstead is preserved to show the youth that care to see how things were . I can see a living museum as you pass through the old rooms, and visualize the fittings and equipment. It might be possible to save that Utility with newer power train & transmission, Id guess at 1958 to 1960 model.
The Holden ute is an EK, you can tell because there are only two pedals, the first Holden to have an auto tranny. Strange that it has an after market blinker stalk. Luv it!!
The ute looks like and FC Holden ute. When I was the teacher at Hamond SA in 1967 I drove the kids to school in an FC like this. It had no windscreen wipers or interior door handles that worked. I think the Hammond school house exists. It was used for the opening scene of the Peter Weir film Last Wave. The Art Director on the film Neil Angwin was a friend of mine. He asked me where they could find a school house from the "back of Fink". Hammond school closed in 1968. I was the last teacher
Hi David, great comments :-) Cheers for the info, I will def look up that film, sounds interesting. My Dad had an old holden ute, I will have to dig out some photos but I think it was an EH from looking at pics online. Definitely a 60`s ute though. Cheers for watching :-)
A good find; seems a house that was well built for its day. Sad it's been let go but is another renovators dream, lol. The brick work I would think is salvageable still. Being in Sth Australia, obviously in the middle of knowhere land though, harsh country, they sure did it tough. I imagine if someone had the inclination and passion to reclaim, it could be a beautiful re-established farm and a beautiful home after lot's of work and rebuilding after being gutted to a shell. I think you can buy now that ceiling tin, it's now very expensive.
Hi dcbeez5956 :-) Yes these are very remote so a keen restorer would have to commit to the remoteness and then hope someone would buy if they did not want to stay I guess. These old homes get absorbed in to larger properties and just sit gathering things slowly falling down. It would be fantastic to see an influx of keen people moving away from ridiculous prices in the city to restore these oldies. :-)
Hi, Paul- 1st, thank you for another great explore!!= I loved this entire property- I would love to get the remaining tin ceiling down and preserve them. The car guys would love to get that truck and get to work on that. The doors always have me chomping at the bit in all of these properties- so many possibilities. There is a ton of wood here that appears good, still, and could be repurposed in any number of ways. That baby car inside would be good in someone's museum. The mantle is something someone is dying to get. All of the farm equipment, and the wagons, the horse trailer are things someone would pay for at auction, even that bale of hay- we use round bales now, and I'm sure whatever mold is long past. So much more. I see it in all of these properties- even the field stone, could be repurposed into rock walls- everyone is dying to bring back the nostalgia of the past, and DIY is all the rage right now- I have a stone wall we built running along one side of our yard- it is so much harder than people think. Those stone could be sold to benefit that farmer in weight units, as could all of it. I am always shocked that these farms leave assets to rot, when they could help themselves quite a bit. If THIS farmer wanted to appraise the assets just from this house, I'd be willing to bet, with a little creativity, they would get several hundred thousand dollars out of just what is on this property, and you are their man, Paul- Your Video and Photos would sell as well, and you could document everything for them, and be their liaison and charge an agent and listing fee, of course. Then, when this went well, as it would, you could do this for every property you went to, so instead of letting things rot, you helped property owners make a bunch more money, and yourself as well, you wrote those books I want you to write, you could start a cable channel on how to do all of this- Kind of like the people who do the "Flip It" things, only your wouldn't be stupid? THEN, you might have someone have an antique store with ovens, sewing machines furniture, and the like- there are just so many ways to go. See- I am all for you getting wealthy and being able to do anything you want to do!! THEN, I could fly down there and visit, see all the wildlife, visit NZ, meet you, and you could show me all of these wonderful places, and I could meet your fantastic cat. Oh, maybe you would could start a cat rescue as well- one without cobwebs, or birds that scream at you 🙂-SDK
Paul my guess would be last lived in 1940-1950s the washing machine with the mangler is 1940s so was the pedal car. Plowing attachments look like 1950s maybe? Truck definitely 30s to 40s great explore!
lol this place looks familiar to me. looks like an old place just a few kms from where i live. the area has quite a lot of old farms and things with abandoned buildings
Hi legleg752 :-) Unfortunately I cannot give any hints as to where a location is. But if you do know where any of these are please keep it to yourself. I am discovering SA has a lot of very old beautiful abandoned rural buildings :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 absolutely, thats why i didnt say where i thought it was. the area i live in is mostly old farms that date back almost to settlers times. so many really historic building here. i used to live in one of the oldest in the area myself. older than the town nearby in fact. i used to live in the station house that was built by a german family that settled here and owned a large part of the region that has now broken up into a couple of suburbs
It's a long slow death for these homes. I wonder if it will outlive its last occupant. Probably. It's amazing how long these buildings last with no " proper" foundations. Modern houses can't hold a candle to these lovelies
Yeh, no running gear but the body seems in reasonable condition. One would have to do a property search of the farm to find the current owner to submit an offer. I'm too old for doing things like that now. Bit like the whole house actually. As with the house, there are lots wrong with me now too! lol
Great video, the occupants of these houses on the land were called "Cockies," they were mixed wheat and sheep farmers whence the sheep would feed on the grain stubble after the harvest .. to many less well informed city slickers they were the archtype "whingeing farmers," problem is they did "whinge" however they had very good reasons. Ok once you had purchased the tractor, the seeder, the baler and the header there was virtually nothing left to live on, you had status as a "grazier" and as a man on the land but you lived in poverty .. drought drove many of them off then in the 1980's the price of fuel finished off many of the survivors. There's plenty of politics mixed up with it all, they were impervious to advice that land clearing would affect rainfall and just went ahead ..
I agree…lots of ifs buts & maybes when you are farming…weather is everything! I remember in the 60’s & 70’s the farmers were generally doing pretty well. Fuel prices were low so the cost to produce was low. Everything was relative too. Decent seasons & good crops meant at the end of harvest they often bought a new Mercedes, a new tweed jacket & took the family on a decent holiday! Then everything changed…yes, politics to some extent got in the way & prices of necessary items for working the farm started to increase beyond the reach of a lot of farmers. A sad reality…
Awesome comments mate :-) Yep I grew up in a small rural town in Victoria and all the rain and sheep farmers were referred to as Cockie`s and yes always whinging :-) But they were very well respected and needed also. Not as dry in Victoria so still many farms survive although combined with smaller ones that did not. I guess these SA farms were also absorbed in to larger properties when the families either had to leave or no other generations wanted or were available to continue. Cheers for the great info Martin and for watching :-)
It's a Holden Ute what a waste that could be saved ,I jave a 59 H olden is there any way u know the owner I'd love to find out if could be bought ❤❤❤ please
Great find, handsome house! Great pity these places can't be restored and brought to life again - their bones must still be pretty good in most cases. As to your term 'vintage' car describing the Holden ute it's not quite correct if one is being pedantic in describing old cars. There are five terms to describe old cars: 1) Veteran: manufactured prior to 1918. 2) Vintage: manufactured between 1919 and 1930. 3) Post Vintage: manufactured between 1931 and 1949. 4) Classic: manufactured between 1950 and 1969. 5) Modern Classic: manufactured between 1970 and 1989. So the Holden ute is correctly known as a CLASSIC. Cheers
That is a awesome old truck ..😮 if this is abandoned is that a free vehicle if somebody takes but them again u would not have a title then it would be useless
Cracks can be caused by a number of things including clay soils that expand and contract with moisture - especially when it’s dry Foundations settle No allowance for movement in the construction- bricks actually grow a little over time so you need expansion joints So when a house is as old as this one I’d say it is probably a combination of things The old girl just needs a little love
Hi mate , can’t wait until you explore the original Aboriginal towns that Uncle Bruce Pascoe tells us about , silos , old stock yards ect . If you come across any it would amazing 😂😂. Love your videos cheers.
Hey there Bryce.... Actually this fb ek ute shape would have to be one of the most "common" Holden's going round, and most not hottied. Many original and pale blue !!!
@@Inverted.surfer Hey Broderick, I have not seen one in years here in Victoria. I had an EK wagon in 1975, then an EK sedan for 3 years after that so I am pretty familiar with them. It is very hard to differentiate between them, really the only way to tell them apart is to check the windscreen wipers, the FB wipers are vacuum operated whereas the EK has electrically operated wipers (that is the main difference). Cheers.
Great explore as usual Paul. This home is very similar to ours, and not in really in much worse shape than when we started to renovate it 20 years ago. The Sunshine implement in the yard is a binder, used to produced sheaved hay. The Holden ute is an EK, produced in 1961/62.

The rusty thing in the yard was a Sunshine harvester, and a FB/EK Ute,in the shed, another great Vlog ❤️🦘🦘🦘

That ute is awesome.
The bonnet is leaning up against the wall. Wonder if that engine you saw at the beginning is from the ute.
Hi Hugh :-) Very possibly is as I think a couple others have said so too. Cheers for watching :-)
Wow! What a find, the pressed tin, that front door.........and that ute! Something our parents would have driven in their day. Shes a Classic F something model.
Great I love cars 👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗👋👋👋
Ohhh man, your just gonna love the electric ones then !!! Lol
That old Holden ute needs saving before the roof comes down, what's left of it is in excellent condition, it's a pity most old farmers won't let them go they just let em rot, great video well done
Hi Geoff. Yes it is a shame they just get left there.....Like an old museum. Cheers for watching :-)
A Sunshine harvester and a 1961 62 EK ute I think Thanks for your show.
I love that art deco fan pattern on the pressed tin
I can see that this house was built with love. It must have been prosperous at one time.
great find. back in the day, this home would have looked awesome
You can just imagine mom ringing out the clothes with that ringer washer. While the kids are kicking up the dust chasing after the peddle car. That was an unusual mantle on the fireplace. Another nice one , thanks for the video.
What a shame this beauty is left to rot . It would be so nice to see it restored after all its an Aussie icon. Love the old scooter and the machinery, car ect ect . One power ball away 😂😂.

I agree latchmangle8314, the sounds are all part of the explore and I try to keep them with out it too over bearing lol :-)
Yeah.... With "The Good, Bad and Ugly" whistle in the background.... Ambience Plus. Lol
Great old home Paul
Those old door were ceder befor ceder wood was scarce in the late 1800s.
I used to explore old houses as a kid with my brothers in melbourne when the were pulling them down . I was forever onward totally interested in old doors hard ware windows etc.
I still visit demolition yards as i did when we renovated an old farm house and got it perfect.
These days its hard to get old sash windows and 4 panel ceder doors.
I love your explorations.

Sweet old truck
Great exploration

@@urbexindigo5164 love your videos, have demolish, rebuilt, my done it three times, loved every minute , but now old and tired, good luck xxx
We have a similar old home in Warooka built in 1900 it has even the same entrance with the cricket bat old door
Hi bas4903 :-) Very beautiful entrances these old homes have. Cheers :-)
What an awesome old homestead. It's too bad that it's abandoned and neglected. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 😀
Hi, love your explores mate👍 the Holden Ute is an FB or EK most likely FB. Think the EK had a bigger air vent grill between windscreen & bonnet? The bonnet mentioned in the tractor tyre room looked to be off a FJ

The old ute is I think an FB/EK Holden ute 59 to 61? 60 years old. Its a neat old house. Another awesome vid .
Interesting old house , Love the old Holden ute one day I’ll own one .
Sunshine is the name of the plough I think
🌟Hi Paul, oh my another beautiful old gem love love love it. I want it! Step back in time lots of history if the walls could talk the stories they would tell. Love the tin roof nice when it rains. Love the Holden ute I love Holdens. Thank you so much again ❤😊🌟x
Hi Megan :-) Glad you love old Holdens, my dad had on old holden ute and I think it was an ej :-) Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching

The Sunshine binder was built in Sunshine Victoria by H.V.McKay. My father worked there as an apprentice fitter and Turner. One of his jobs was to work on farm machine bought in from areas where there had been bush fires. He had to take them apart then put them back together in working order then send them back to the country. H.V.MCKAY became Massey Ferguson. Good Scottish name.
Wow Ruby thanks so much for the info and recalling your memories. I love hearing and learning from others experiences. The old farm machines are so interesting as well as the homes. Thanks for watching 👍😁
Farmhouses like this are both
interesting and dangerous
but worth exploring.
🏘️🏘️🏘️
I'll bet that place was really something back in the day. There were some shakers and augers out of a combine harvester in the house. Grain farm maybe? What do they grow in that area? I had to look the old ute up to see what it looked like in good shape. Very interesting video. Stay safe out there exploring
Sunshine, perhaps made in Sunshine where Massy Ferguson had their productions.
The sizzagy shark fin things in the first room near the tyres are Harvester walkers they walk the straw out of the machine the second rooms "plows" are auger screws flightings out of a harvest comb. The 3rd room with truck tyres has the too fan and screen cover for a sunshine Harvester number 2 I'd guess the number could also be a number 7 Harvester parts. The hay in the very first windows you looked in would be all from the birds making nests . Love the old houses it's a pity they don't ever get rented out before they go bad. Normally one family sells the land and the neighbours buy the land and already have a established house so the newly purchased home stays empty unfortunately in my experience.
The tarped up wagon looks like it had the floorboards from the house on it.
Thing with the seat was a binder mahe by sunshine Harvester Co.
Might be a FX Holden?
Doors open and shut better than a new car 😂
I'm guessing these old gems were built by the strong Scottish. Irish and English who came to Australia in prosperous times. Bringing with them skills worthy to build these grand houses. Cheers to our ancestors.
The front door is so elegant along with lovely woodwork and trims. That home was built with a lot of care. But that blue truck! The shape of it is so beautiful and draws attention to the seriously curved glass windshields front and back. The original paint would glow with a proper professional clean up. Curved auto glass puts it after 1934. It must have been well loved to still be sitting protected inside a stone structure. So happy you found it. Gravity will take it down soon as the walls are so compromised. Thank you! (I hope you keep up your tetanus shots).
Great comments thanks Judith. It really was a great old home, just well over due for some TLC :-( Cheers for watching :-)
I would hope that somewhere, an old station or farmstead is preserved to show the youth that care to see how things were . I can see a living museum as you pass through the old rooms, and visualize the fittings and equipment. It might be possible to save that Utility with newer power train & transmission, Id guess at 1958 to 1960 model.
It sure felt like a collection of old museum its Gary. :-) Cheers for watching
The Holden ute is an EK, you can tell because there are only two pedals, the first Holden to have an auto tranny. Strange that it has an after market blinker stalk. Luv it!!
Hi Paul, thanks for the videos with these homes being so old have you ever seen family grave yards on the property?
The ute looks like and FC Holden ute. When I was the teacher at Hamond SA in 1967 I drove the kids to school in an FC like this. It had no windscreen wipers or interior door handles that worked. I think the Hammond school house exists. It was used for the opening scene of the Peter Weir film Last Wave. The Art Director on the film Neil Angwin was a friend of mine. He asked me where they could find a school house from the "back of Fink". Hammond school closed in 1968. I was the last teacher
Hi David, great comments :-) Cheers for the info, I will def look up that film, sounds interesting. My Dad had an old holden ute, I will have to dig out some photos but I think it was an EH from looking at pics online. Definitely a 60`s ute though. Cheers for watching :-)
Hey there.... This ute is fb/ek. One of the quirks of these Utes is they used the previous model tail end.... That'd be an FC !!!
A good find; seems a house that was well built for its day. Sad it's been let go but is another renovators dream, lol. The brick work I would think is salvageable still. Being in Sth Australia, obviously in the middle of knowhere land though, harsh country, they sure did it tough. I imagine if someone had the inclination and passion to reclaim, it could be a beautiful re-established farm and a beautiful home after lot's of work and rebuilding after being gutted to a shell. I think you can buy now that ceiling tin, it's now very expensive.
Hi dcbeez5956 :-) Yes these are very remote so a keen restorer would have to commit to the remoteness and then hope someone would buy if they did not want to stay I guess. These old homes get absorbed in to larger properties and just sit gathering things slowly falling down. It would be fantastic to see an influx of keen people moving away from ridiculous prices in the city to restore these oldies. :-)
Excellent explore my dude!
Hi ABC thanks for watching :-)
Hi, Paul- 1st, thank you for another great explore!!= I loved this entire property- I would love to get the remaining tin ceiling down and preserve them. The car guys would love to get that truck and get to work on that. The doors always have me chomping at the bit in all of these properties- so many possibilities. There is a ton of wood here that appears good, still, and could be repurposed in any number of ways. That baby car inside would be good in someone's museum. The mantle is something someone is dying to get. All of the farm equipment, and the wagons, the horse trailer are things someone would pay for at auction, even that bale of hay- we use round bales now, and I'm sure whatever mold is long past. So much more. I see it in all of these properties- even the field stone, could be repurposed into rock walls- everyone is dying to bring back the nostalgia of the past, and DIY is all the rage right now- I have a stone wall we built running along one side of our yard- it is so much harder than people think. Those stone could be sold to benefit that farmer in weight units, as could all of it. I am always shocked that these farms leave assets to rot, when they could help themselves quite a bit. If THIS farmer wanted to appraise the assets just from this house, I'd be willing to bet, with a little creativity, they would get several hundred thousand dollars out of just what is on this property, and you are their man, Paul- Your Video and Photos would sell as well, and you could document everything for them, and be their liaison and charge an agent and listing fee, of course.
Then, when this went well, as it would, you could do this for every property you went to, so instead of letting things rot, you helped property owners make a bunch more money, and yourself as well, you wrote those books I want you to write, you could start a cable channel on how to do all of this- Kind of like the people who do the "Flip It" things, only your wouldn't be stupid? THEN, you might have someone have an antique store with ovens, sewing machines furniture, and the like- there are just so many ways to go. See- I am all for you getting wealthy and being able to do anything you want to do!!
THEN, I could fly down there and visit, see all the wildlife, visit NZ, meet you, and you could show me all of these wonderful places, and I could meet your fantastic cat.
Oh, maybe you would could start a cat rescue as well- one without cobwebs, or birds that scream at you 🙂-SDK
My parents had one of those “wicker / rope” seats and it was from the 60’s or early 70’s.
Paul my guess would be last lived in 1940-1950s the washing machine with the mangler is 1940s so was the pedal car. Plowing attachments look like 1950s maybe? Truck definitely 30s to 40s great explore!
lol this place looks familiar to me. looks like an old place just a few kms from where i live. the area has quite a lot of old farms and things with abandoned buildings
Hi legleg752 :-) Unfortunately I cannot give any hints as to where a location is. But if you do know where any of these are please keep it to yourself. I am discovering SA has a lot of very old beautiful abandoned rural buildings :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 absolutely, thats why i didnt say where i thought it was. the area i live in is mostly old farms that date back almost to settlers times. so many really historic building here. i used to live in one of the oldest in the area myself. older than the town nearby in fact. i used to live in the station house that was built by a german family that settled here and owned a large part of the region that has now broken up into a couple of suburbs
Had a Holden ute like that in my younger days.
The Holden could easily be restored she would be beautiful again
It's a long slow death for these homes. I wonder if it will outlive its last occupant. Probably. It's amazing how long these buildings last with no " proper" foundations. Modern houses can't hold a candle to these lovelies
They sure are amazing old pieces of our history Julie :-)
Bonnet for Ute was in the room with the tractor tyres in it
Excellent just a quick clean up she would be good 😊
That's what I'm thinking.... Are you married ?!!! Lol
The rolls of lino were from the 1950s.
Interesting little truck.
Put a big block in her!
Cheers Ken! :-) Hopefully that roof stays where it is or the old ute gets moved soon.
Yeh, no running gear but the body seems in reasonable condition. One would have to do a property search of the farm to find the current owner to submit an offer. I'm too old for doing things like that now. Bit like the whole house actually. As with the house, there are lots wrong with me now too! lol
A much smaller version of the old homestead I lived in on the York Peninsula.
Is this house in the Murray river lands
I'd like to buy that ute.
The Ute is a Holden EK body looks to be in cod nick
I would love your help to find the owner of this property because I'd love to buy and rescue the ute and give it a full restoration
Looks like an FB or EK 1960 to 62.
Great video, the occupants of these houses on the land were called "Cockies," they were mixed wheat and sheep farmers whence the sheep would feed on the grain stubble after the harvest .. to many less well informed city slickers they were the archtype "whingeing farmers," problem is they did "whinge" however they had very good reasons.
Ok once you had purchased the tractor, the seeder, the baler and the header there was virtually nothing left to live on, you had status as a "grazier" and as a man on the land but you lived in poverty .. drought drove many of them off then in the 1980's the price of fuel finished off many of the survivors.
There's plenty of politics mixed up with it all, they were impervious to advice that land clearing would affect rainfall and just went ahead ..
I agree…lots of ifs buts & maybes when you are farming…weather is everything! I remember in the 60’s & 70’s the farmers were generally doing pretty well. Fuel prices were low so the cost to produce was low. Everything was relative too. Decent seasons & good crops meant at the end of harvest they often bought a new Mercedes, a new tweed jacket & took the family on a decent holiday!
Then everything changed…yes, politics to some extent got in the way & prices of necessary items for working the farm started to increase beyond the reach of a lot of farmers. A sad reality…
Awesome comments mate :-) Yep I grew up in a small rural town in Victoria and all the rain and sheep farmers were referred to as Cockie`s and yes always whinging :-) But they were very well respected and needed also. Not as dry in Victoria so still many farms survive although combined with smaller ones that did not. I guess these SA farms were also absorbed in to larger properties when the families either had to leave or no other generations wanted or were available to continue. Cheers for the great info Martin and for watching :-)
G'day mate
At 19 min the unknown machine is a sunshine harvester (wheat harvester) 👍
Good video
what town was this in. that ute is in good nic
It's a Holden Ute what a waste that could be saved ,I jave a 59 H olden is there any way u know the owner I'd love to find out if could be bought ❤❤❤ please
Great find, handsome house! Great pity these places can't be restored and brought to life again - their bones must still be pretty good in most cases. As to your term 'vintage' car describing the Holden ute it's not quite correct if one is being pedantic in describing old cars. There are five terms to describe old cars: 1) Veteran: manufactured prior to 1918. 2) Vintage: manufactured between 1919 and 1930. 3) Post Vintage: manufactured between 1931 and 1949. 4) Classic: manufactured between 1950 and 1969. 5) Modern Classic: manufactured between 1970 and 1989. So the Holden ute is correctly known as a CLASSIC. Cheers
Thanks.... Interesting .
Looks like a FC Holden ute so probably mid 50's
Wow you could how many bake dinner's cooked in that kitchen where's happened we used to have a FB station wagon same colour to
That is a awesome old truck ..😮 if this is abandoned is that a free vehicle if somebody takes but them again u would not have a title then it would be useless
Is this not trespass?
Could be Officer???????
What The???????
So why do these places literally fall down? why do they crack and move when they must be a long way from any seismic activity.
Cracks can be caused by a number of things including clay soils that expand and contract with moisture - especially when it’s dry
Foundations settle
No allowance for movement in the construction- bricks actually grow a little over time so you need expansion joints
So when a house is as old as this one I’d say it is probably a combination of things
The old girl just needs a little love
Hi Jayne :-) rich summed it up pretty well :-)
Cheers rich, wll summed up. Cheers for watching :-)
Hi mate , can’t wait until you explore the original Aboriginal towns that Uncle Bruce Pascoe tells us about , silos , old stock yards ect . If you come across any it would amazing 😂😂. Love your videos cheers.
The ute is a 1962 HOLDEN EK. You don't see many of these around any more.
Hey there Bryce.... Actually this fb ek ute shape would have to be one of the most "common" Holden's going round, and most not hottied. Many original and pale blue !!!
@@Inverted.surfer Hey Broderick, I have not seen one in years here in Victoria. I had an EK wagon in 1975, then an EK sedan for 3 years after that so I am pretty familiar with them. It is very hard to differentiate between them, really the only way to tell them apart is to check the windscreen wipers, the FB wipers are vacuum operated whereas the EK has electrically operated wipers (that is the main difference). Cheers.
The old holden ute needs saving the body got good bones for a resto
I think it towards the beginning,I saw something black on your legs. What was that.
Hi Mava, they were snake guards :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 You didn't want the snakes to nibble on your legs.🤣
❤
It's a pity you didn't shut the interior stained glass door so, we could see it in all It's splendour 😂
Sunshine
where's the people & why they left they home
