It looks so lonely up there by itself. Another beautiful home, easy to imagine it furnished and full of life. Thanks Paul, you sure are finding some great ones
Hey Urbex Indigo. Loved your vid as always! That newspaper at 9.06 under the lino was December 1934. One of the articles mentioned the Adelaide shooting founded in 1897, and had been going 30 years. Another advert mentioned Xmas sale. So they laid the lino probably in early 1935. The place was upgraded in 1935 which is unusual given depression years. It would have been abandoned after that and given there is no sign of electricity, perhaps WW2 intervened and changed family circumstances causing abandonment? I love hypothesising a history from what you present.
Great summary mate 😁👍 it's great hearing all the clues you guys put together that I miss. I intend to retrace the history of many of these homes in the future . Cheers for the support 👍😁
I agree he has a nice sounding voice and his love of the houses comes through his speech, plus his accent is easy for us Americans to understand and at times he sounds almost like someone from the South here in the US
What a proud old home just sitting up there on the hill. Beyond the natural damage and decay, you can still see it for what it was. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)
🌟Hi Paul, wow what an incredible old rustic gem sitting proudly in the country side a lot of history in those walls. Very in love with it. Beautiful archway. Thank 😊you so much again 😊❤x🌟
Paul looked like an advert on that paper for Foy and Gibson. They were an early retailer from 1880s and t there was a branch in WA t that I had a a lounge suit from. That could date the paper to some degree. What a stately old girl in the opening shot. Georgeous
That is an amazing opening shot. That vast expanse with a child's toy brick house sitting squarely and firmly against the sky! Imagine one of the horses standing to the side. That is a photo I would love made large and hanging on a wall all by itself. The view of the front door through the elegant arch is heart-stopping beautiful, especially as the keystone piece of the arch is gone. ❤
What a great find. A beautiful old lady. Who can still build something like that today? Folks, it was the 18th century, all pure muscle power. And no electricity. As a matter of course we turn on the lights and drive electric cars. I take my hat off to the people who lived here.👍👍
@@urbexindigo5164 It always does but most of the time I don't write anything about it, I watch your videos and enjoy. But some old houses make my heart swell. Thanks for sharing, more of this please. 👍
Just started watching and you are still showing the outside of the house and all I can think of is boy that house is small. The archway in the hallway make me think of a castle
this explore was outstanding, something about this house made it extra special, what a beautiful location, love the close up images of the front door with the stained glass and then top empty pane showing the beautiful natural colors of the blue sky and clouds, thanks for the mid-week video
I was expecting you to go through the floor at any moment Paul. Paused and zoomed on the newspapers, not much to see as I had hoped. Thanks for the tour! 🤠👍 🇺🇸
What a cool old home!! I have always loved pressed tin ceilings, I will never understand why they ever went out of use. The pile of parts in front of the house was once a ground powered sickle bar cutter or mower. It would have been horse or mule drawn. Called ground powered because as the work animal pulled it, the wheels would power the sickle bar cutter, which would but down or mow the hay. I have a similar one as yard art in my front yard. Greetings from South Carolina, USA. Thanks for sharing!!!
Yah got to love these historic homes mate, just love them they might not have much but its the lives that once lived in them. Those papers look 30s and the pressed metal ceilings look amazing. Ohh and wow I didnt know about the ceiling hooks for the lanterns, im wondering how they got them up there and they probably ran on Kerosene or some sort of burning oil, citronella perhaps cheers mate.
Urbex Indigo thanks for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed it so much this old home that news paper looks like the 20 or 30's i always enjoy your channel my friend i can't wait to see your next video i am from the U.S.A and i will always show your channel support i gave you a thumbs up and shared you out on my community tab my friend and God Bless and thanks again.
It's a shame that a person can't repurpose some of the goodies left in this home....... Like the hallway arch and the tin ceilings. What a beautiful old home!!!
Thanks, Paul ... 10/10 as usual. Other than the dilapidated veranda, there didn't appear to be any remnants of shade trees near the house so I can imagine how hot it would have been in the summer. I'm old enough to remember as a child lying on the linoleum in the hallway in summer because it was cooler.
G'day Paul, that old machine by the front door was once a Sickle mower which was horse 🐎 drawn to mow the hay down before bailing, I'm off a farm and we had a working model under a peppercorn tree for years as a kid l would pretend to drive it, think it might still be there, cheers mate love all your video's, all the best Neil.
Everytime I see that cottage I think of the old brick building out near Maindample, in north eastern Victoria. There’s not much left of that these days either!
Absolutely love this home… the views from all the windows are stunning… the arch in the hallway is beautiful… the icing on the top of the cake is that there is no electricity… love it!!!🥰 Thanks for the video and take care…
This is the best abandoned house I've seen yet and it definitely has an eerie spooky look about it and looks like a good place to explore and see the history within it Thanks for another wonderful video and this is a very Beautiful area Thank You. 🇦🇺👋🇦🇺🤠🇦🇺👋🇦🇺
Hey Paul. Thanks for this new video. Magnificent house. The lino looked like it had the old willow pattern on it. I've seen it on dinnerware. Never on lino. Interesting.
So, in my perfect world, I would go with you to all of these homes that are far past saving, but have so much salvage in them- this one for example- I would kill for that door, that floor wood, those window casings, those bricks, that glass, I don't think those implements out front are necessarily scrap metal, and that pressed tin, as well as that fencing. Those things are in all of the falling down homes that are far past any chance of restoring, but it is senseless to just let all of that rot away- you could take it, and build a wonderful museum to dedicate to Australia's past, and have artists such as yourself, and your work featured. It would be phenomenal, and make money, because if there is one thing I know it is that tourists love nostalgia, and there would be so many directions to take it.......... Just help me convince all the big landowners who have bought up these farms and are letting these houses rot......... I need YOU, Paul, lol-SDK
While appreciating your interesting videos, I also find them distressing when I think of the hardships involved in the early settlers lives . Thanks for documenting them before they are lost in the dust.
When I see these magnificent stone and brick structures numbers of which turn up on this YT station, my mind automatically goes to accountants and accountancy .. thus everyone who wants to bring a building project to fruition knows the accountant is the most important person, he is the fellow who after studying every aspect of the case will tell you how much it will cost. The cost of recruiting skilled labor bearing in mind trades ppl who need to be housed and fed who demand and receive high wages must be met, then acquiring the building materials that's stone blocks, milled timber & bricks before conveying it all by animal drawn transport into the Australian outback is astronomical, before a single strand of wool or ear of wheat has been harvested. Then look at the similarities in architecture, in that the brickwork at the corners and surrounding the window recesses is seen in many other deserted homesteads built around the same era .. to me the 1880's rural building boom that included hundreds of now abandoned towns and villages, was to provide stage props for whatever plans the ones who financed the European invasion of Terra Australia had in the first place.
Great comments Martin 😊 I often wonder about all the transporting of certain materials made its way out to these rural areas by horse and cart. And as you said skilled Laborers! Great to go back and watch it unfold 😊👍
Paul wasn't that house the front cover of a album of midnight oil. If I'm correct this farm house is just outside burra. I like the tours you do in the outback more interesting and items you find great find again mate😉👍
These old homes can’t have been lived in very long seeing as they are so far gone some of them. It’s amazing they are still standing at all. Just shows you how well built they were. We don’t appreciate what we have nowadays. I wouldn’t do too well without electricity! (Or internet lol)
That needs to be saved and renovated back to as original as possible, you should tell us what state these buildings are in and approx locations, I’d buy that if it were up for sale
I know you can't say. But I have wondered,if the different explores. Have jobs that help them, find houses. Or help them figure out information on the house. Like looking at the window to see when it was made. To give them a idea when the house was built. Be careful out there.😊
I wonder if the relatives of the original family still own it? There are signs someone is still looking out for it though it's left to disintegrate. Lovely home but life would've been pretty wild out there 100 years ago.
Paul that newspaper had prices in pounds, which Oz only used from 1910-1966 so the newspaper was probably from 20s or 30s and put under the lino during or maybe just after that time.
Many would if they could. Sometimes they're on properties that can't be divided, or kept up with, or part of estates stuck in legal limbo. Multitude of reasons it's been lost like this, and many who would love to do something like this up before it was too late to save.
No 'modern' machinery on this old farm. The machinery at the front had a horse stirrup amongst it. Wonder if the exposure to the weather on all sides is not helping this lovely old place.
Pulling up the paper from the floor will cause a small amount of dust to rise but in all your videos there are copious amounts of pigeon droppings, you should wear a mask due to this as you can catch Cryptococcosis, Histoplasmosis or Psittacosis.
Very similar to the Midnigt Oil album cover on Diesel and Dust located at the Cobb n Co corner at Burra. Great vid Paul.
It looks so lonely up there by itself. Another beautiful home, easy to imagine it furnished and full of life. Thanks Paul, you sure are finding some great ones
I could live up on that hill in that beautiful cottage , such peace and silence.
Beautiful spot for sure🙂👍😊
I can not stress how much I love this house it’s on my top 5 Paul thank you so much !!! ❤
I have a feeling that was not the first house built on that land but the one they built when they had gathered some funds.
One of the ads said "wool bathers" so I guess 1920's is about right.
I'd love to see a virtual refurb.

They certaintly knew how to build homes back in the day , as solid as a rock , and quite big on the inside compared to the outside , great video .
Hello Paul such a Beautiful Home. Thank you for sharing. 😊😊😊😊

Glad you enjoyed it Judith, it sure was a great sight seeing it up on the hill like that :-)
Looks like a sturdily built home.
What a cool old home!! It's beautiful in it's simplicity.
Beautiful little cottage! You can tell it was really fancy in its day.

Oh my gosh, she would have been a real beauty in her day ❤ A dream home!
What a beautiful old girl , love the high ceilings and the archway ,I’m sooo loving this .THANKYOU See you in the next one Mate 👍🇦🇺
I love the home it looks so regal but lonely on the hill by itself.I bet it was a beauty lovely 👍❤️🇺🇸
Beautiful home and back then it would have been farmers that was well off the floor boards would be lovely sanded back and polished
Niiice one mate..the sound of the wind thru the tin roof is such an apocalyptic vibe.The ladies swimsuit in the paper looks 50's to me

What a beauty back in her day. Great one brother. Music was awesome
Thanks for finding such a gem. It looks so peaceful up there all alone. I love all your explores, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it Pamela 👍😊
🤩❤🤩
Wow!!!!
Everytime I see that cottage I think of the old brick building out near Maindample, in north eastern Victoria. There’s not much left of that these days either!
That old newspaper was probably laid under the floor covering. That is probaly how it it survived for so long.
Absolutely love this home… the views from all the windows are stunning… the arch in the hallway is beautiful… the icing on the top of the cake is that there is no electricity… love it!!!🥰 Thanks for the video and take care…

STUNNING. Love these old ones
This is the best abandoned house I've seen yet

Hey Paul. Thanks for this new video. Magnificent house. The lino looked like it had the old willow pattern on it. I've seen it on dinnerware. Never on lino. Interesting.
Thank you so much for this explore ! I live not far from this old house and have often wondered what it was like. Cheers. CY
Thanks Paul, for another great find. I always look forward in to seeing your videos. As always, stay safe and be careful. See ya in the next explore.
Thanks Vicki, glad you enjoyed it 😁👍
I especially love this one. All that pressed metal and the beautiful detail on the archway. Fabulous.
I love vidéo bravo 👍👍❤❤😹👋
So beautiful and sad . I just love old homes . The detail is something the new homes don't have . Thanks for what you do ❤❤❤
Hopefully it will be saved in the future.

Sad she's been abandoned and left to the elements. She would have been a beauty back in the day
While appreciating your interesting videos, I also find them distressing when I think of the hardships involved in the early settlers lives . Thanks for documenting them before they are lost in the dust.
Someone’s pride and joy back in the day. Sad to see it in such poor shape.

Another great find paul, l agree with a lot of the comments, it's like the little house that lives on the prairie. Can't wait to see more. Cheers deb
Thanks Deb! :-) Glad you enjoyed
Good find
This old Victorian homestead would have been grand back in the day, with the high ornate pressed metal ceilings, arched fireplaces and spacious rooms.
At 10.27 you can see 1934 as a heading in the text of the news paper.
10:27
Thankyou 😊
Paul wasn't that house the front cover of a album of midnight oil. If I'm correct this farm house is just outside burra. I like the tours you do in the outback more interesting and items you find great find again mate😉👍
1st comment. Where is it, what part of Adelaide? Beautiful little cottage
Looks like its around north of Adelaide judging by the landscape or somewhere around there. It's always windy. Maybe around yorke peninsula
The structure is solid. Just needs updating. There are some cracks but it still could be fixed. 💗
Dreamer!
that's one lonely house
These old homes can’t have been lived in very long seeing as they are so far gone some of them. It’s amazing they are still standing at all. Just shows you how well built they were. We don’t appreciate what we have nowadays. I wouldn’t do too well without electricity! (Or internet lol)
Perhaps a couple of generations starting back 1890s ish to 1950s ish? 🙂👍
That needs to be saved and renovated back to as original as possible, you should tell us what state these buildings are in and approx locations, I’d buy that if it were up for sale
I know you can't say. But I have wondered,if the different explores. Have jobs that help them, find houses. Or help them figure out information on the house. Like looking at the window to see when it was made. To give them a idea when the house was built. Be careful out there.😊
What was the timber in that area used for flooring and such?
I think pine and a few others? 🙂
How long do you think that was vacant no electricity or bathroom and there was no kitchen I could just see the old farmers living there
Pure wool bathers .. definitely pre dates budgie smugglers.I’d imagine it had a garden around it but has been sacrificed to farming.
🤣👍 cheers buddy
I wonder if the relatives of the original family still own it? There are signs someone is still looking out for it though it's left to disintegrate. Lovely home but life would've been pretty wild out there 100 years ago.
I agree it has been left alone to stand as long as possible, probably were many more trees or gardens surrounding the home back in the day 👍🙂
Paul that newspaper had prices in pounds, which Oz only used from 1910-1966 so the newspaper was probably from 20s or 30s and put under the lino during or maybe just after that time.
thank you.
It is so sad that a lifetime of work. And no one appreciates it.
Many would if they could. Sometimes they're on properties that can't be divided, or kept up with, or part of estates stuck in legal limbo. Multitude of reasons it's been lost like this, and many who would love to do something like this up before it was too late to save.
That was great , so was the summer kitchen you called it was that only one for the whole house or did I miss the main kitchen ?
Watching the video, there were 3 large pieces of newspaper, I hope you went back and looked further.
The bit of newspaper with the man in swimmers is page 29 of the Advertiser, Fri 30 November 1928.
I stained glass is beautiful it'd be a shame if they broke it all up when they take the building down from Seattle Washington
No 'modern' machinery on this old farm. The machinery at the front had a horse stirrup amongst it. Wonder if the exposure to the weather on all sides is not helping this lovely old place.
That machine is for cutting grass , horse drawn mower, the ,,stirrup,, is actually the handle to raise and lower it. Cheers
Cheers LWF 😁👍😊
Do you ever collect those newspapers? It's not like you're taking part of the house away
Yes absolutely, those pieces I didn't though but I have a very cool collection of in more in tact pages from various dates over the years 😁👍
Pulling up the paper from the floor will cause a small amount of dust to rise but in all your videos there are copious amounts of pigeon droppings, you should wear a mask due to this as you can catch Cryptococcosis, Histoplasmosis or Psittacosis.
