So good to see at least one old home saved from the vandalism and the elements. I loved your voice also, so lovely and clear the narration of the video, great work in the editing
Mrs Lamb was done over hard. Doesn't pay to upset someone on council. She actually used to stand up for keeping the heritage of Brisbane. If you ever read this Joy, I am so sorry that this happened to you. I am not sorry for the trespass I was charged with, the fine was worth having a chance to see the beauty of the past. However I am sorry if it hurt you that I trespassed.
The original owners refused to pay council rates but also objected to the city council pushing the sale to claw back money owed to the city. Its a rather interesting story
People should have the right to own a house ... councils are just organised crime syndicates .. why do you think you get sent a rates notice and not a rates invoice ? you pay invoices not notices... enough taxes are collected in Australia so that people can at least be free from taxes on their homes.
@@paulmarshall248 it's a case of paying for the facilities that everyone uses regardless of wether or not you use them. This covered all public infrastructure. Don't know why it requires an explanation but obviously it's an organized crime thing or something that was made up
I don't understand why they wreak them either,Shows how they would treat a home if they got a place,if it wS me I'd try and make it look and feel comfortable
Outstanding! Thank you so much for the visit and the excellent oral presentation. You did a great job, especially considering the awful state inside the mansion. It is such a shame that nothing better was done to protect this property, and that people totally trashed it. I'm so happy it was finally saved from total destruction and hope it is going to stand tall and beautiful for many more decades :)
fabulous house, happy someone has bought it and going to fix it up as it used to be, that staircase you couldnt buy that today, panelling as well, great video lets hope the new owners puts it back to its past years
I find it hard to sympathise with the previous owner who was willing to let the grand building rot. Very happy that it was sold to someone who will restore it.
The person had been there for a very long time and the greedy government rates and corrupt local government officials ensured that the rates became so high that the person who owned it couldn't afford to live in their own home. Heritage Listing of any other persons private property by a government makes it impossible for anyone to even do their own renovations or painting for which you then need "approval" by public servants who will make it impossible for anyone to enjoy their own property. Any fool Australians that want to say who can own a home, and judge whether they should be able to keep their own home without government interference is a piece of work, and I hope that in their old age they are told that some government people have decided to put conditions on how and when they care for their own private property ! Absolute imbeciles. The stupid remark than the previous owner was "willing to let. . . it rot" is not a thinking person, just a very ignorant person indeed.
Finally, great narration. I've seen many abandon home videos and most no narration or its next to useless. It was great learning about this house, the past, present and future. Well done girls. 684 liked. A bigger light would be useful.
There are so many of these near me in the suburb of Kew. Chinese buyers pay whatever ( keep the prices UP ) then never move in. Check out the Streets off Studley Park Road. One to two blocks in. They are everywhere.
How sad that Joy Lamb felt unsafe living here with people breaking in and having to move out and not even being able to come back and pack up her belongings due to squatters. That's just so wrong! I feel sorry for her. 😪 I wonder what she will think of the house once it's completed? It would definitely have been amazing to see inside and hopefully I will have the opportunity to do so once it has been restored. I believe the new owners will open it to the public at some point? 😊
On tv shows people volunteer to fix people's houses for them , why don't people volunteer there time fix it and split the sale money profit to be made , with social media easier than ever for people to work together.
We don’t know the circumstances of Mrs Lamb. No one has the right to sit and judge her. She may not have had the money to pay for the property taxes and rates. What I find sad is what the squatters and thieves have also done to the house.
Recently renovated, Was featured on Renovation Australia
Thats nice to hear. I'd love a house but this is too big for me. It's a shame properties get like this when we have so many homeless and needy people.

Vandalism I don't condone on property that doesn't belong to one's self. However at the end of the day, the "asset" is not everlasting.

So Disrespectful of Ppl to Destroy that Gorgeous Home
It's ashame how the squatters, wreck these places. If they kept them tidy, no-one would know they were there
I don't understand why they wreak them either,Shows how they would treat a home if they got a place,if it wS me I'd try and make it look and feel comfortable
.like cockroaches
I absolutely loved this video and it’s commentary. Informative and fascinating!
What beautiful views I live in Brisbane and am glad it has been restored

Love this vid! Such amazing footage and your voice was made for this! Watched it so many times!
Very well done. Thanks for the history on this beautiful property.
i absolutely loved this house can't wait to see it done up and fixed
I can’t wait to see the conservationists efforts 😍
Me too! I drive past all the time, crazy how much they've done already!

Yeah. It looks eerie.

The restoration is finally complete. You can watch the process on ABCs Restoration Australia
That varanda & view would of been so beautiful,Very sad it hasnt been loved for a very long time
Excellent video and commentary. Well done girls
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 WOW! This was well done! Do more of these!!!!!!!!!!
Thank youuu!! I definitely will be 😊
Finally, great narration. I've seen many abandon home videos and most no narration or its next to useless. It was great learning about this house, the past, present and future. Well done girls. 684 liked. A bigger light would be useful.
Thankfully now restored
There are so many of these near me in the suburb of Kew.

Amazing research and beautifully presented. Stay safe!
Awesome - I like your videos. Gidday from a fellow Aussie creator, of 18 years
This is absolutely beautiful!
Great Video please lets us know what happens.
I'm working on a tv program following the restoration of Lamb House, would love to talk to you about your using your footage.
Gonna look great when it’s finished
It's complete. Watch ABCs Restoration Australia. Streamed a few weeks ago
Thank you ❤

I would not even want to see my house done up by someone else, if I didn't get paid for the sale. Council profited there.
Heartbreaking
@@kuntessofascot-ku6mb She lives just down the road I heard. Must be hard for her seeing the house being restored by someone else.
Heartbreaking.
Thankyou,
Wow I like it keep the good work love u
Soo good absolutely love
I would Love to Live there❤
Exquisite ❤
So sad to see these beautiful old places rot and become entertainment for vandals. They need resorting and living in. 😢
Did you happen to take any photos of the stained glass doors and windows?
It looks like the squatters would have felt equally at home at the rubbish tip. What a disgrace!
Oh My❤
its surprising all of that timber is still there .
thank God its being saved
Wow as I’ve been thinking watching your videos shame on the Vandals but thought if I was there I would clean them.
This place felt so much like the jumanji house when you were in there
I feel so sad🌕
If it’s important, why was it not protected & looked after! Hope it isn’t past restoration! 🤞🏼
So why did Joy Lamb lose the house? She couldnt adford to pay the rates and taxes?
If you go to google earth it’s looks like the house is under major renovation 👍
This house is only 5 mins away from me go past it all the time
Wonderful old house in a fantastic location but those ugly flats in the background ruin it a bit.
OK who's going to renovated✊ home Ren0s show🎬👍
On tv shows people volunteer to fix people's houses for them , why don't people volunteer there time fix it and split the sale money profit to be made , with social media easier than ever for people to work together.
Get yourself a better torch on your next explore…😱
Would have been a much better video without the constant droning background "music". It drowns out the narrator at times.
If this mansion is on the heritage site why can't they re renovated
Isn’t under construction?
...рано или поздно всё будет оставлено на этой Земле...
Да правда 😞 🏚️
Many people have used this house as a TOILET.
We don’t know the circumstances of Mrs Lamb. No one has the right to sit and judge her. She may not have had the money to pay for the property taxes and rates. What I find sad is what the squatters and thieves have also done to the house.
