Excellent
Glad you enjoyed it, I plan on doing a lot more abandoned buildings in the future.
I live here.. cheers mate ..
Awesome, I love that area.
Good stuff Bloke keep it coming..👍
Thanks, glad you enjoy them.
Back in the day ..shame to see alot of old places falling apart.
I cycled bicycle via Iron Knob on my way from Sydney to Perth and slept one night in there in 2007....it was beautiful road....
Wow that’s big ride, good on you for doing that . Respect mate 👍🏻
I last stopped there n 1998 on my way out to Lake Gairdner, with a Toyota Coaster towing my race car behind me. A bunch of us would meet up from around Australia before taking the track out to the salt. Even ran into a bloke from Long Beach California .. Sure has decayed massively since then .
Was first at Iron knob in 1997 then last in 2016 when the roadhouse was still intact. its so sad to see the township get smaller year by year.
Definitely a shame to see how it’s declining, I had a few stops at the pub there in the 90’s and it was going strong back then.
Crikey - there is a blast from the past. We went through there in 1969 and it was a pretty happening place then - haven't been there since then though. I hadn't even heard the name since then until I came across your video - that is what prompted me to have a look at what you put together - impressive.
I’m glad it brought back good memories for you, hopefully you’ll enjoy some of my other videos. Thanks for watching.
That's is a long time ago, know how you feel. Most of Iron Knob town is emty now exept for a few locals
Love it mate I can imagine it would off been a busy place back in the day
It's sad to see these Roadhouses go like that..I remember over here in Central Queensland, two going like that on the way from Rockhampton to Mackay, it was Kununurra and Claireview..and they'd be ⛽ n Toilet 🚻 stops for my kids and I going to Townsville to see family.
It is sad, stops like these were always a great part of a road trip.
@@ablokeinatroopyaustraliawide Yes, memories were made for my family.
They used to have a native wildlife enclosure. I last stopped there in 1982 on the way back to Victoria.
Wow thanks for that input.
Good Stuff Dave . Catch ya in WA next year . Redm☮️nd
Thanks mate, I look forward to it for sure.
Picked up petrol 1979 good food also.
I wish more public toilets had that "signage" nowadays !!, I also remember stopping here in 1981 and '84.
Nice
Sad mate, the closure of the mine destroyed the town. Guess that's another thing we have to thank the Greens for, on the plus side there's some dirt cheap houses there if you don't mind living 50km from the nearest town.
Yes it’s a damn shame as it was a nice little town when the mine was going, some great facilities that went to waste.
My Dad grew up in this town!! So sad too see it soo derelict!! :-(!!
Yes definitely sad how it’s become into such a state of disrepair.
@@ablokeinatroopyaustraliawide Is the general store/post office still there?? We were going to back and have a look last month!! But the petrol prices cancelled out that idea!!
There’s no real business left there now, just a caravan camping spot with toilets and that’s about it. Very sad for what was once a nice town. Pretty sure the pub stopped doing anything once covid restrictions kicked in. Not sure If it got going again since then.
@@ablokeinatroopyaustraliawide Bummer!! I might save $20, 000 or something and pump some kind of money back in the town!! My Dad grew up here!!
My dad owned this for a while pretty much grew up in it sad to see it’s destroyed
It saddens me as well and I was just a customer there a few times. Great area to grow up I’d imagine. Thanks for watching.
I hope you had enough petrol to keep going. Nice out there tho. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it
If walls could talk I'm sure there's some great stories to tell👍 and also the people that passed through would've alot
i remember stopping there in 2003 and passing by in 2007. It was still open then (2003 anyway). Time stops for no one I guess
Yeah I remember stopping in there around 2000/2001 and the local pub burnt down a week earlier so the locals were drinking at the roadhouse until there was a portable building setup on pub site.
Just a couple of holes in the workshop roof
It’s pretty well destroyed now
Yeah unfortunately it’s a bit past it nowadays.
Cool video but I had to put it on mute... the music is way too loud. Sucks because I was enjoying your commentary before it got drowned out.
Yeah sorry about that, I’ve changed my methods now and don’t do the music as much.
Gotta lose the music on your vids mate. It ruins the trip back memory lane, and is distracting.
Yes I think I may just do that on the abandoned properties vids in future, I hope you enjoyed it otherwise. Thanks for watching
looked better in the 70's
Definitely, was still good in mid 90’s too
Nice video there, Bloke!
