When I was a little tacker, I remember the ice man coming to our house early 1960s, House built 1956-58, Still there, 2 Alamein St , Shepparton,Vic, Now modernized, Back yard another house, Love the old houses history ❤🤠🦘🦘🇦🇺
The land looks so clean around the old homestead, not a lot of junk like some of them.What a great find on those old bottles in the old fridge, been there a long time. Thanks Paul for all these great explores, been busy bingeing on them trying to catch up. Cheers! ☮️💜
🌟very cool drone shots of a lonely old farm house in the dry countryside. Wow some very cool old finds the music was amazing. Stepping back in time and trying to imagine what it was like to live there. Thank you for the tour. ❤😊🌟x
Loving the drone work and new music Paul. She was a lovely old home. I still try to imagine the buildings with their polished floor boards, lovely large windows and the business of a country property. I miss exploring the old properties 'round Geelong region, my home. I love all the years of tools and nicknats. Meat Locker was exceptional! It's great how you put everything back....lucky find Werner, good onya! Thank you guys😊
Great to see a new episode of an abandoned rural farmhouse it looks like it used to be a big farm at one time with all of the sheds and barns in the back area of the house and it is still used for grazing lambs and sheep but i like these rural areas i really enjoyed exploring both inside and outside these older places like this, this is another great old place to explore and until next time thank you.🇦🇺🤠🇦🇺
I hate to say it, but I was using a soap saver shaker back in the 80’s in Home Economics at high school to wash the dishes. And you could still buy them in the 90’s because I did. But probably not any more as who uses soap bars now 😊
My style of home, that's why I had built similar 35 years ago in Brisbane.. verandah/ porch right across the front of the home .. my MUM had one of those soap holders and would use to wash dishes with, give it a good shake to get the suds.. good old SUNLIGHT SOAP.. magnificent views and scenery ..so sad to see these homes left.. thanks for the tour ❤
Beautiful scenery. I love hearing the sheep in the background. It must have been a great farm house back in the day, filled with happy memories. These old homes are magnificent. It really is like taking a step back in time. I wonder how many families lived there or was it one family through the generations? Watching these explores makes me reminisce of how life used to be before technology and reminds me of the old farm house I lived in when I was 8 years old for a while in Tasmania with my mum. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 😊
J R Alexander and Sons, some info about that company, Glass bottles and Jars, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, around 1940. We love your channel, Cheers Paul from Taree NSW
That drone shot made the video even more spectacular mate this was a awesome cool explore and we had the best weather for it even though it was mid June. The end cinder room was a time capsule indeed another excellent explore mate cheers.
That music you played after the intro, with the violins, was real nice. What was it? You said the newspaper may have been around from the 30's. Thats almost 100 years old. Hard to believe, right. Agreed, house looked older than 1923. Very interesting video.
Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) Je sais que dans mon secteur, il était de coutume de signaler par l'année une modification sur la maison, quelque soit la modification un changement de porte, une terrasse...
Cheers Gary. That is pretty old then. I remember my Mother telling me she could remember the ice man delivering a big block for their fridge back in the late 40`s early 50`s :-)
Thanks, Paul. Haven't seen a poor video yet. While I don't have your knowledge, I agree with your thoughts on the 1923 addition. I don't imagine the settlers of the 1880-90s time being able to build more than the two rooms to begin their farming life. As always, looking forward to the next one.
1923 is on the rendered corner Paul. I reckon the render came later. I agree on the late 1800s because such a steep roofed and narrow verandah goes with that time period according to to what I see in WA. More a colonial build. But those big windows are so unique. I also think the last whole structure must be original because of the deep platform the whole front of the building is on. That would have been hard to add to for a later build and it all looks the same. Wondering if that strange fire place boiler?? thing had a tap on it for heating bath and washing water. Something looking like it when I looked it up
Another great one, Paul! Southwark Ale...AKA (by Victorians): "GREEN DEATH".🤣 You mentioned this vid was filmed in July, maybe last year? A mate has a farm up north, near Booleroo Centre & a month ago he did a bit of "dry seeding" of wheat on half his farm, hoping it would rain, which it certainly did in the last few days. Farming always was quite a gamble...!!!Thanks for the link to Werner. Many more videos to work my way through. Nuthin' on TV!!!👍
Love this old home it's seen better days. it's great to see it, though. Ah you found some 'Green death' was a great beer until it was discontinued, then reserected by the eastern states. That meat safe needs to be "aquired" and then saved from further decay. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)
When you go into a place like this and don't find certain flooring, it it because it rotted away, the building was in the process of a tear down or like copper wiring, the wood was valuable enough to steal?
The furnace is a base to a wood fired copper heating the water up for washing clothes there would have been a copper insert and lid the fridge under the verandah is a kerosene fridge . Iam guessing the house is federation period ? and maybe the 1923 period is when they updated it by rendering it and other improvements
Hi Charles 🙂 I think the original main 2 rooms of the home were built first in late 1800s then they added the surrounding rooms in 1923 to match the original part. So yes the additions could be considered Federation is that is in fact what happened although it was done to match the late Victorian style on the outside. 🙂
So confused. Surely the sheep belong to the neighbouring property right? Who maintains them? Makes sure they have food, water and sheering? Did they not realise they had missing sheep? so many questions.
Such a wonderful beautiful old farm house. Would have been quite a show piece back in the day. It was obviously a very loved home at one time. The remainders of its owners care can be seen in the few pieces that are left behind. Walls painted. Windows cared for up till Noone lived there anymore. And the 8 panel windows mean that this home has to be older than 1920's. And the beautifully thick walls. The house would have been a lovely warm cosey place in winter. And kept cool and comfortable during the melting hot Australian summers. Love the wrap around veranda providing plenty of shade during the hot day.. So sad that this magnificent home has been left abandoned. It would have been a great home.
There is something melancholic about seeing the windmill turning on and on while all that surrounds it stops and crumbles.
Nice to see an old windmill running
The Drone and Music made it Magical! But Dry and Lonely!!!!
Cheers Amanda :-)
wow,I'll just agree with what everyone else has said.Love these old homes ,so much character gone to waste Thank you 👍❤️🇺🇸

Awsome old place love the history of those old farm houses glad you're back out there very cool 😎
Great to see a new episode of an abandoned rural farmhouse
it looks like it used to be a big farm at one time with all of the
sheds and barns in the back area of the house and it is still
used for grazing lambs and sheep but i like these rural areas
i really enjoyed exploring both inside and outside these older
places like this, this is another great old place to explore and
until next time thank you.🇦🇺🤠🇦🇺
Thanks again Roger for watching and the support, glad you enjoyed :-)
Like the drone shot.
Cheers Lou :-) Glad you enjoyed

These old farmsteads are always amazing
Glad you enjoy them Patrick, more on the way :-)
I remember my mum using the soap shaker
Nice find fellas. Gotta love these old rural houses, oozing with Aussie history. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
Alexander and Sons is a gunsmith selling guns, ammunition etc in May lands WA since 1946
I love these videos
Beautiful scenery. I love hearing the sheep in the background. It must have been a great farm house back in the day, filled with happy memories. These old homes are magnificent. It really is like taking a step back in time.
I wonder how many families lived there or was it one family through the generations? Watching these explores makes me reminisce of how life used to be before technology and reminds me of the old farm house I lived in when I was 8 years old for a while in Tasmania with my mum. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 😊
I agree with all your comments Anita :-) I do wonder who and how many generations lived there. Glad it brought back your childhood memories :-)
I love seeing the drone images.Thank you for another beautiful farm house.
That old fuse box
dates back to the 1920s.
the news paper possibly
the 1940s.
I remember using on of those soap savers at my grand parents house
Love the drone shots
Glad you enjoyed them Jerrold, I will use the drone a lot more now :-)
Love these old rural properties. So much to see & explore. Such a shame they are left to rot away.
That is an early 1920s
refrigerator back then
large ice blocks were
stored in the bottom
used to keep foods
cold.
Cheers pbs :-)

Lol yes realised I said July while editing the video 🤣 oh well. Great spot for sure mate, I need a 4wd after yesterday's journeys! 👍😁
@@urbexindigo5164 yes definitely 4WD territory out there
I'm wondering if this was a finer home at one time. The wallpaper border in the living room seems a step above even though its a farmhouse. Very cool!
These old places have so much character & history! I sure hate to see them abandoned & wasting away! Awesome video mate! 👍🤘❤️
Thanks heaps Carla :-)
Thanks for the tour Paul!
Stayin tuned! 👍🤠
Cheers John, glad you enjoyed and yes my drone, got one around Xmas time 😁👍
Would have been a fine old home,with stories to tell....but at least it's still standing for us to see....Thanks,😊UI....
Cheers Richard :-)
Cool old bottles 👍
So many of these old places north of Adelaide
Look on the bottom of the bottles markings
That music you played after the intro, with the violins, was real nice. What was it? You said the newspaper may have been around from the 30's. Thats almost 100 years old. Hard to believe, right. Agreed, house looked older than 1923. Very interesting video.
Hi Laura 😊 the song at the start was from a site with various themes I signed up for. Instrumental type stuff. Glad you are enjoying 🙂👍
An old Mustang clutch and pressure plate!😂😂
That house is earlier than the 1920's..TPS cable was introduced in the 1960's as is the fuse box... probably 32v generated before that.
Cheers :-) Yeah I think so too
Bonjour d'Occitanie (France)
Je sais que dans mon secteur, il était de coutume de signaler par l'année une modification sur la maison, quelque soit la modification un changement de porte, une terrasse...
Great video. With the newer fencing take it house in it's final days. Then to, it is in much decay.... Please be safe....
Your meat safe is actually a old ice fridge
Cheers Gary. That is pretty old then. I remember my Mother telling me she could remember the ice man delivering a big block for their fridge back in the late 40`s early 50`s :-)
Cool stuff
Hi Paul, what you called a furnace is actually the fireplace that held the copper tub for heating water. I loved the drone footage in the intro.
I’d say that was the base for an old copper ( water heater) .
Thanks, Paul. Haven't seen a poor video yet. While I don't have your knowledge, I agree with your thoughts on the 1923 addition. I don't imagine the settlers of the 1880-90s time being able to build more than the two rooms to begin their farming life. As always, looking forward to the next one.
Love the drone perspective, gives an appreciation of the whole farm, very cool 😎
Thanks Paul!

Hi Beachbum :-) Yes I try picture the years gone by with how they were farming and the struggle in comparison to modern equipment. :-)
Love this old home it's seen better days. it's great to see it, though. Ah you found some 'Green death' was a great beer until it was discontinued, then reserected by the eastern states. That meat safe needs to be "aquired" and then saved from further decay. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)
great explore, love the old country houses, the drone footage was fantastic
Great video enjoyed it lovely find❤enjoyed it thank you
Enjoying your videos. Can I ask why you call yourself Indigo? Is it : IN (Dare) I GO or just your favourite colour?
Is this from July 2023? I know some explorers, use old videos. That they have or have not put out before.😊
Hi Mava :-) No I realized I meant to say June instead of July haha :-)
I'll forgive you everybody makes mistakes 😕😊❤️
I'M A COOL OLD THING
:-) Thanks for watching T.O.Z :-)
Do you put a block of ice in the bottom of the meat safe?
Hi Jerrold, well I think that was actually an old ice box cooler more than a meat safe :-)
What’s the term for Rural Explorers?
Rubex? Rurbex?
Yep, either one of those 👍😊
When you go into a place like this and don't find certain flooring, it it because it rotted away, the building was in the process of a tear down or like copper wiring, the wood was valuable enough to steal?
Do you think the floors get stolen, or sold by the owner?
Usually they are Baltic pine and used in furniture etc.
The furnace is a base to a wood fired copper heating the water up for washing clothes there would have been a copper insert and lid the fridge under the verandah is a kerosene fridge . Iam guessing the house is federation period ? and maybe the 1923 period is when they updated it by rendering it and other improvements

That's an old ice box. Southwark Bitter the old green death
So does someone own the property now ?
So confused. Surely the sheep belong to the neighbouring property right? Who maintains them? Makes sure they have food, water and sheering? Did they not realise they had missing sheep?
so many questions.
Maybe 1923 was the address of the house
She would have been a beauty in its day
You need to say we’re the houses are, we’re are they ???
When you get paid NOT to grow!
Such a wonderful beautiful old farm house.
Would have been quite a show piece back in the day.
It was obviously a very loved home at one time.
The remainders of its owners care can be seen in the few pieces that are left behind.
Walls painted. Windows cared for up till Noone lived there anymore.
And the 8 panel windows mean that this home has to be older than 1920's.
And the beautifully thick walls. The house would have been a lovely warm cosey place in winter. And kept cool and comfortable during the melting hot Australian summers.
Love the wrap around veranda providing plenty of shade during the hot day..
So sad that this magnificent home has been left abandoned.
It would have been a great home.
Nice find, thanks for sharing!
