Hey Shirley my pleasure! was a good little adventure. :-) This one was divided into 4 large equal rooms! Not seen that many times before actually. Steep incline too but worth the view! :-)
So way cool! This reminds me of the home my grandparents had. Sitting around the large dinning table playing dominoes, poker and Crazy 8's. I always loved staying with them. Wonderful memories ❣️
Thank you for trucking all the way to the house & showing us this. I wonder how many folks have lived there over the years. Beauitful views ! I expect to see the lady start singing, "The hills are alive, with the sound of music..."🤗 Making butter the West Virginia way. Put your goodies in the wooden container & the churner is hooked to the rocking chair. You can rock & relax & make yummy butter at the same time. I bet folks that lived in that wonderful home you found they made their own butter & soap. That fantastic fireplace would give lots of the ash/water (then mix with lard after boiling the ash & conentrateing it) needed to make soap with. You let it set in a cool dark place for a few days & it sets. Could you picture a big spinning wheel in the living room? They were a hardy talented bunch to be able to make it out there.
I always thought Australia was dry and desert-like but you have shown us it is green and beautiful. Love the old places way out in the country. Can't remember the video but it was one with a very old house with bright pink doors and colorful rooms. I think that is my favorite of your videos. Keep making them. Thanks
Wow ! And amazing find...live the old house. The country side scenery looked like in Kentucky (USA) where I was born & raised. Lot of hills, cow pastures & space to run & play. Brought back good memories of my childhood. Thanks for sharing this..
Hey Shirley! Yes this is dairy farm area south of Adelaide, very green at the moment still before summer hits! These explores for me are very much like my childhood back in the country. It is very grounding for me to do this stuff, i`m 43 next week :-)
Why didn't you come and get me, Shirley? I spent my urban childhood dreaming of growing up on a farm. You had what I wanted. I couldn't even make it happen when I got married and had kids. I must've checked out every library book about farm life, over the years growing up.
Another great find Indy.... ceilings certainly were in good nick, but with the roof moving in a few years it will be spoilt... Where I live the paddocks are starting to brown up but no matter what season it’s always good in my eyes ☺️ Looking forward to the next adventure 👍
Hey Greg thanks for watching! :-) Yes this green grass is quite full but this is the dairy farm area, i`m sure summer will brown out this green soon enough :-)
What a beautiful day for that strenuous hike up the mountain! Such a find, the ceiling in the kitchen and the front room seemed to be an exceptional quality of wood. I think the paint used in both rooms helped preserve it. It's such a shame these old walls settle away from each other - makes it difficult to imagine restoring one of these wonderful old homes. Such a treat! The view from the house was amazing - thanks again for sharing!! Hope you didn't suffer severely from hiking up to that treasure.
Hey Donelle! :-) Na didn`t suffer too much, have a bit of a sore hip these days from lots of sports back in the day it is good to give it a hill climb to blow the cob webs out haha. This old house was a surprise and total luck i saw it just from the road. Cool example of early farm life again. Interesting the way they face the house on that hill though! :-)
Wow it always amazes me how green 🌿🌱it is out there in your neck of the woods.. beautiful scenery and those old cottages just add to the photography 👍👍😊
In Australia we are coming into summer soon so this green from spring will soon be gone! The heat will take care of it, this area is pretty nice because it is low valleys will a lot of creeks :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 🌟 oh wow we're just starting fall here in America soon will be Winter.. so do you guy's have Christmas out there..?? What month is it out there..??
@@urbexindigo5164 I have a feeling that winter here in Maryland (USA) is going to be a long cold with tons of snow season. Got to be hardy to live here. (just like Australia, got to be tuff to live there 😁) But it's beauitful seeing the Chesapeake in the winter. I save my bacon grease & put bird seed in it & they love it. I used to do that in Whiting where we have alot of pine trees. Make a bunch of them, put string on em & hang them on a tree in the yard. We'd get birds & deer & was alot of fun helping the animals. That's what Chrismas should be, sharing & love & giving back esp. to nature.
Lovely what a peaceful old family home. I imagined it the stove on baking bread or cooking dinner and a blazing log wood fire and the family sitting in warmth and comfort. Thankyou for taking the time to explore this property it will soon be gone but your video shows how it won't be forgotten. Best wishes beverley stone UK
Hey Beverly! :-) This home is the classic old four room 1800`s home with the 2 huge fire places! Simple but very family orientated living as you said. Gathering in the kitchen while the meals are cooked on the huge stove and the sitting around the lounge open fire telling yarns and stories before bed! Thanks for watching :-)
I love the stove in the kitchen! I can imagine how warm it would be in winter and actually preparing meals on it. The house looks like it might have been very sturdy at one time. Love the music. Seemed sad like the house! Another great video.
Awesome,shows this house is a century old or more because the walls are made of bricks n stones..,beautiful scenery around....TY for sharing ..Take care.
What a sturdy house that was... it looks like it was built to last eons- the thick walls of stone and brick--- and that fireplace is a real one, meant to gather about on cold evenings with roaring fire. . The wiring caught my eye- obviously added long after the house was built. What I noticed was the wiring was run in what appears to be small diameter black iron pipe- the type used in gas lighting in the Victorian era. Was electricity laid in by someone also knowledgeable about gas lights and did they chose this for a conduit ? I have seen this often in old buildings that originally had gas lighting that switched over to electricity - they ran the wires thru them like that. I liked the switch/fuse panel- that is about as early electricity as it gets, especially those fuse blocks :) . I saw the bottles in the cellar- I always like to look them over. In the US you can often date a site by the colour of old beer bottles- those that are green glass often date to the American pre-Prohibition era (1930's)-- after it was repealed they have remained, (usually), brown. . Thanks for sharing this ! .
Hey Anna :-) Thanks for stopping bye! :-0 I was going to look at those bottles but I do not really know much so next time I will get them on the camera if i come across any. I am amazed this house is still standing as it is on that unforgiving slope! Your right that it just shows how sturdy it was built. I was lucky to see this one out the corner of my eye while driving :-)
Wonderful find, love the rugged windswept trees, when viewed from within, while looking outside, it so reminded me of a scene from Van Gogh's landscapes. Great commentary, do keep up the good work!
Hi Robyn! This one was a fluke and what a fluke it was , I really enjoyed this one, great adventure up to see this old one. Thanks for your support and for watching , glad you enjoyed :-)
Hey Jimmy thanks for your support! Yes the landscape is Beautiful and quite amazing considering Summer is just around the corner! The green will be gone then! haha :-)
Hey mate! Yeah I took off down south of Adelaide and came across a string of these through the dairy farm area. This one was a fluke while trying to locate a different one! haha :-)
Im.here again.just watchimg music so soothing suits all land o my.word just reminds me of little houes on.the pairie can just imagine children running round having fun.i long.frilly frocks boys in baggy britchers i always see far and beyound this is awesome bless you.once again.families then.thought.they were poor no.they went with what they had are happy days i.lived on.a farm.when.i.was younger old stove cook.on.and boil kettle on.fire im.only 59 by.the way im.from england rotherham but lived in.melbourne Australia for some years tjankyoy.for sharing once again.bless you
This one just caught my eyedriving past and I`m so glad it did as I agree with you it is very movie like with the green hills and back drop. That music as soon as I heard it had to be in the intro! Glad you like these old ones too, I love the history and trying to picture the old way of living :-)
What an amazingly beautiful area. That sky is just gorgeous. Could only imagine how warm and lovely that home must of been at one time. I wish you had a looking glass that could tell us the story of its history. Would make a great novel. Thanks you from S.C.
Hey there!! Another awesome video! I luved that stove! It was interesting how the had 3 different kinds of walls rock, cement, brick...but that stove...wow...have an awesome safe fun explore where ever you head off to next!! Take care...peace ...Trish ✌✌
Standing quite well to the ravages of time. Amazing that the draws and cupboards are in such good condition. Love the music you put to the video. Take care
Easy to see the economics of the construct. The costs of timber, bricks and fittings were probably pricey having to be transported, and the economy of stone and mortar for the walls. it appears no one has lived there for at least 40 years.Except maybe the ghosts. What a story if the walls could speak. Thank you for the look!!
Hey Gary thanks for watching! Yeah agree 40 years or more definitely. this one is divided into 4 large equal rooms and yet no sign of a bathroom or toilet????!!!!! lol Unless that part was underneath somewhere or fallen down! :-)
With that haunting music I thought of the Lord of the rings with the vibrant green hills and view. Must have been a cozy beautiful home in its day. Sad that no family member wants to fix or stay on this amazing place. It looks like a lonely old cottage. Imagine the pride of the per son who built this brick by brick inside and out. Amazing explore.
Hey Janet! :-) So glad I just caught this one out of the corner of my eye while driving past. Perfect setting for alonely cottage and there it was. Looks to be a long time abandoned and forgotten. Seems the cows may visit it more than anyone has for along time. Cheers for watching :-)
That place felt very old & somehow lonely, despite the good view. Beautiful find. Good video. Thankyou for sharing. Looks a bit like parts of Devon, in England, there.
Hey Sarah, even though there was a farm house down the hill a bit this one did feel very long abandoned and even visited. Not much left but still very interesting to look at :-)
So glad you did this one! I loved the music. We do the pipe thing for electricity here in Peru too. It makes it alot easier to find or replace if there is an issue! What an ideal spot to live eh? Im getting ready to build a stone cottage. I hope it lasts for generations. Ive been photographing all the pretty wood trims in your videos so i can have it made for my house I loved the round fireplace face in one of your videos. we are going to try it! Thanks for the inspirations
Wow!!!!! I`m So happy you are going to try the round fireplace Sharon! I have never seen them before and would be amazing if you did build one!!!! So good! Cheers for watching keep me informed on how your cottage progresses :-)
The house was great and even had a rare basement. But the land!-so pretty and lush, rolling hills and pasture. Similar to Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, USA. We’re in the middle of a wet, drab winter up here on this side of the world, but looking forward to spring. Cheers.
Hey Laura! :-) Virginia sound like a nice place too! I was amazed about the positioning of this home, on a very steep hill, basically half way down lol. great views and probably knew the winds do not rip through that slope. I would like to go back in time and see the family life around these type homes! :-)
When I visit old places like this, the previous occupants are always on my mind. It’s like they draw me in to share a part of their lives that once was, and pleased that someone has an interest. I would imagine they worked from sun up to sun down, unlike a lot of lifestyles nowadays.
Hey Jan! :-) This one is unique on such an incline and the house is perfectly divided into 4 large rooms! I really wish I could see back to when these homes had their big families living in them with the kitchen table full of dinner in winter! :-)
What a lovely spot to live that would be. Imagining all the charm the cottage had when it was lived in. These homes with almost nothing left behind, make me think hmmmm... what might be hidden beneath the surface outside... I think I'd have to get a small detector, what they call a pinpoint one, simple to take along, for a bit of "catch and release" :D
He yTanya! :-) Yes a few others have stated that taking a metal detector to these old homes would be awesome! :-) I would love to see what these old home were like in their prime! :-)
I give you credit for exploring rickity old places. I like to do that too, but it can be dangerous. You are quite adept at it. Through your lens I get to enjoy your Australian finds. I'm seeing Australia from a different perspective. Some is like my area in the states. Especially mountain in the Sierra Nevadas
Nancy it makes me happy that you can enjoy Australia through these videos, I really like finding these old places and i try to be very careful while doing so haha, thanks for the support and for watching :-)
Another great find. You could picture them making a wonderful home there, farming, raising their animals, planting trees. Making things from sheep wool, making beds useing straw stuffing or animal feathers. Useing the lower part of the house to keep their food cooler, butcher animals, build furniture, store their firewood like you said. In that cupboard the thin bit on the side I bet held firewood for the cool stove. Did you know that a tiney good old fashioned Victorian once wood burning stove for a doll house is like $40. U.S. dollars?! With prices of today poor 'dolls' will have to take a loan out to 'buy' their doll house homes. Ha, ha! (Doll house making can be pricey, but I luv doing it.) Dingos are in Australia. They are really wolf/ very smart & I luv em.
Hey Ruth! :-) thanks for your support! :-) I do really wish i could just go back in time for an hour to see how they lived and what it looked like in its prime! :-) Equally divided into 4 large rooms yet there was no bathroom or toilet?? lol You must be creative and patient to make those dolls houses? Great skills :-0
@@urbexindigo5164 Hi Paul. It's like you said about wanting to go back in time for a short while. I guess that's why folks like doll houses like Victorian ones. They can pretend to be back in time for awhile. I guess most folks were too busy trying to get by to think about indoor plumbing & stuff back then. They were digging root cellers to try to keep food abit longer & all. Mrs Lincoln had inside her bed room what looked like a real toilet of today but it was wooden, no pipes and had a bowl to catch the 'shuff'. I have a masoleaum, part of one that's open to show a skeleton band & little skeletons sitting at tiney tables drinking & chomping on food & a Masoleaum Inn with lighting & casket beds and furniture with tiney booz bottles on the little counter (for Halloween) & a castle that will get done eventually, then I'll try to make a video on it. The Graveyard is really made from cig boxes covered over. When done I'll pop over & let you know & I hope you might give it a watch?! Will try to make it fun to watch.
@@urbexindigo5164 If you could go back in time for abit don't get sick in that time period. They weren't great on medicine back then. Folks were dieing from 'milk sickness'. What it was ...was the cows were in the field eatting grass but also a small plant with white flowers on it that was posion to humans & a very painfull way to die. Also they only got sick in the spring, summer but in winter the cows mostly ate hay so folks didn't get sick. A women figured out about the white flowers but I can't remember her name. AHhhh be on the lookout for crazy stuff You Tube might be doing. Seems they're taking folks subs away thinking they might be 'generated subs' or something like that. I get emails that folks state thrived subbed to me yet my # never seems to go up & UT won't show any of my videos on prime time with everyone else. Plus some have just DISAPPEARED ! Why? I don't make 'nasty' videos. That's why I haven't put others up in awhile but I will. Oh well. I still wonder what might have been under that pile of leaves in one of your videos.😉 For fun you should put a rubber arm in the top of the pile of leaves & put a trail cammar up to see the reaction if any. I put a rubber hand & phoney arm (even put a ring on the finger) & had it hanging from my trunk one Oct. month. Folks would hunk their horns & point. Then I got pulled over by two cops who thought I had a body in the trunk. The sargeant caught it after looking at it up close but the rookie cop with him was gong hoe ...till I opened the trunk & they found it was fake. The sarg. laughed & the rookie got red in the face. Hope I haven't bored ya. Nice chat. If you ever need a dollhouse let me know. I'll not take a cent. Ahhh beddy by time.
I've never been outside of the United States before.. I'm from the West coast and I've only ever been as far east as South Dakota.. my parents took me to see Mount Rushmore monument when is was like 12 or 13.. beautiful country side up there too..
@@urbexindigo5164🌟 yeah seeing Mount Rushmore on a screen does no justice for how massive it actually in in real life up close.. but it's beautiful amazing work they made out of that mountain..
EARTH ANGEL😇 I THINK this is an Awesome place!!!🤔 Gorgeous location!! I “feel” that this was a sheep-farmers home!?🐑🐏 Another home I’d love 💕 to live in! Grand room with a magnificent ,simple fireplace!! Cozy in the wintertime,cool in summer. Sweet old iron stove would surely blast you out of there when it was cranked up!!🔥. They really “ cleaned “ that place out!!!👍😍🧟♀️🧛♀️👍
An amazing property. Once the roof collapses it will take some of the walls with it. Not a very long life left for it. Any restoration will involve masses of rebuilding, more expensive than its worth!.
Yeah I think you are right Phillip, that roof was sliding off too, the rot gets in and takes over. Glad I was able to document it. Thanks for watching Phillip :-)
Looked like a metal tank, or chest of some sort in that last room where you looked in the window. Wonder what that would have been used for? Storing grain/oat flakes/flour, soaking Willow withies for making baskets & weaving protective covers onto bottles, soaking straw for making hats, bags & bee skeps, or tanning animal hides? Though the last would have been a bit smelly for in the house. Also could have been used for storing clay for multiple uses.
Hmmm i`m curious about that chest too now!!!! lol This home had no bathroom or toilet! Four equally divided large rooms! Intersting! Thanks for watching Sarah :-)
LOVE the open!!!! This find is amazing. Would this have been the original farmhouse for the original farm? And why has this hillside not been grazed down, do you think? Thanks- this was great!
It always amazes me seeing these old places how one room is still sturdy and intact, and another is completely rotted through. Great find!
Yep, the water gets in one room and it rots away. Thanks for watching Roze :-)
"I Loved the singing and music at the start!!!"
I thought that music was the best fit for this scenic explore. :-)
Such a beautiful explore! Lots of nature sounds. Love the big rooms. This would be an amazing home! Appreciate all your hiking and work for us. Thanks

This one gave me chills with the music, the beautiful scenery and the decay of the house. It was Fantastic!
These houses are better than the urban ones they have a lot more visual history
Beautiful views from this home. Quiet and peaceful. Lovely 😊
There's beauty in old things.
More so than most new thing I agree Jacob! :-) Thanks for watching
What a great view! The green meadows, tall grass and nice day made for a fun Sunday outing I'm sure. Thank you for the share.
Totally unexpected find but what a great one! A good adventure all round this one was! :-)
Thank you for trucking all the way to the house & showing us this. I wonder how many folks have lived there over the years. Beauitful views ! I expect to see the lady start singing, "The hills are alive, with the sound of music..."🤗

Rough going all uphill good thing it'll be easier going back down .Beautiful.
Hey Joanna! The hill was steeper than I first though but I was determined haha! :-0 Thanks for watching
Urbex Indigo I wouldn't have made it.
If only the walls could talk! There was a lot of lives lived within those walls, all with different stories to tell. Fascinating.
Imagine the family life living up on that hill :-)
What an amazingly beautiful area. That sky is just gorgeous. Could only imagine how warm and lovely that home must of been at one time. I wish you had a looking glass that could tell us the story of its history. Would make a great novel. Thanks you from S.C.
Ebra id love to wind the clock back for a day and see these homes in their prime with a family in there, cheers for watching, glad you liked :-)
Great find and beautiful hills!
Hey there!! Another awesome video! I luved that stove! It was interesting how the had 3 different kinds of walls rock, cement, brick...but that stove...wow...have an awesome safe fun explore where ever you head off to next!! Take care...peace
...Trish ✌✌
Hey Trish thanks for your support again! :-)
I luv old old houses like this
Standing quite well to the ravages of time. Amazing that the draws and cupboards are in such good condition.
Love the music you put to the video.
Take care
Hi Jacky thanks for watching :-) Considering it is on such an incline it is doing very well to be still in tact! :-)
another good find keep up the great work thank you
Hey Kim cheers for watching again! :-)
You can see why they built it there, an amazing view. 🇬🇧
Hey Laurie! Yes a very steep hill but the view obviously is worth it! :-)
Again, fantastic find. Very nice. Beautiful location, love the old stove/cooker. Well worth the trek up. Great video, as always
Hey EwL thanks for stopping bye! Yeah the trek was all part of the adventure! :-)
You always seem to find the coolest places. Thanks
This one just caught the corner of my eye from the road way down the bottom!!!! Lucky and Happy!!!! :-)
l like the old stove. lovely find. you do well to find these places. thankyou.
I love finding these old ones and I was lucky to catch this one out the corner of my eye! Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching Kathleen :-)
As usual you find awesome old houses, love all your content xx
Hey Dancing Unicorn! :-) Thanks for watching, had some luck with this one , found it while looking for a different one! :-)
Loved it, thanks xx
Pretty setting. Love that stove.
Easy to see the economics of the construct. The costs of timber, bricks and fittings were probably pricey having to be transported, and the economy of stone and mortar for the walls. it appears no one has lived there for at least 40 years.Except maybe the ghosts. What a story if the walls could speak. Thank you for the look!!
Hey Gary thanks for watching! Yeah agree 40 years or more definitely. this one is divided into 4 large equal rooms and yet no sign of a bathroom or toilet????!!!!! lol Unless that part was underneath somewhere or fallen down! :-)
Oooh ya sooo beautiful view and big area
Lucky I found this one R Shinta, just saw it briefly while driving past. Great views :-)
With that haunting music I thought of the Lord of the rings with the vibrant green hills and view. Must have been a cozy beautiful home in its day. Sad that no family member wants to fix or stay on this amazing place. It looks like a lonely old cottage. Imagine the pride of the per son who built this brick by brick inside and out. Amazing explore.
Hey Janet! :-) So glad I just caught this one out of the corner of my eye while driving past. Perfect setting for alonely cottage and there it was. Looks to be a long time abandoned and forgotten. Seems the cows may visit it more than anyone has for along time. Cheers for watching :-)
That place felt very old & somehow lonely, despite the good view. Beautiful find. Good video. Thankyou for sharing. Looks a bit like parts of Devon, in England, there.
Hey Sarah, even though there was a farm house down the hill a bit this one did feel very long abandoned and even visited. Not much left but still very interesting to look at :-)
Once again...wow thank you.
Hey Leeanne! Thanks for your support! :-)
Good hunt,,beautiful stone house,,built in a quite n nice place..enjoyed watching your video..TYVM .UI..
This one was a really cool adventure up to the top of this hill. Glad you enjoyed Ferlinda :-)
So glad you did this one! I loved the music. We do the pipe thing for electricity here in Peru too. It makes it alot easier to find or replace if there is an issue! What an ideal spot to live eh? Im getting ready to build a stone cottage. I hope it lasts for generations. Ive been photographing all the pretty wood trims in your videos so i can have it made for my house I loved the round fireplace face in one of your videos. we are going to try it! Thanks for the inspirations
Wow!!!!! I`m So happy you are going to try the round fireplace Sharon! I have never seen them before and would be amazing if you did build one!!!! So good! Cheers for watching keep me informed on how your cottage progresses :-)
The house was great and even had a rare basement. But the land!-so pretty and lush, rolling hills and pasture. Similar to Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, USA. We’re in the middle of a wet, drab winter up here on this side of the world, but looking forward to spring. Cheers.
Hey Laura! :-) Virginia sound like a nice place too! I was amazed about the positioning of this home, on a very steep hill, basically half way down lol. great views and probably knew the winds do not rip through that slope. I would like to go back in time and see the family life around these type homes! :-)
When I visit old places like this, the previous occupants are always on my mind. It’s like they draw me in to share a part of their lives that once was, and pleased that someone has an interest. I would imagine they worked from sun up to sun down, unlike a lot of lifestyles nowadays.
Whow, nice video mate! Super location again👍👊
Cheers guys!!!! :-)
really old house, if those walls could talk, Rural areas seem to hide gems of places to be explored by you. Tyvm for this
This one I just caught a small glimpse of while driving past so it was a pleasant and lucky find! :-) Glad you enjoyed Wendy :-)
Wow! Your finds are always wonderful! This was a good size house in a remote area and terrain. Loved the stove! And fireplace! Great explore as usual!
Hey Jan! :-) This one is unique on such an incline and the house is perfectly divided into 4 large rooms! I really wish I could see back to when these homes had their big families living in them with the kitchen table full of dinner in winter! :-)
Awesome find! Thank you!
Cool house beautiful View
Hey Wilma glad you enjoyed this one! Loved filming this one up on the hill :-)
Fantastic clip!
Hey eXplorer thanks for stopping bye!! :-) Glad you enjoyed, I loved this little adventure up to this one :-)
House is knackered but the scenery is awesome!
The first owners obviously thought that view was worth the hard yards up and down the hill hahaha :-)
I think I noticed an old galvanised iron bath in the room below! How cool.
Good find like the old wood cocking stove.
Hey Guys! Thanks for watching. Glad I saw this one, only just caught a glimpse of it driving past :-)
Awesome explore Thanks so much
My plaesure John! And thanks for your support :-)
I like the wood doors inside. They resemble "Little House on the Prairie's"
I thought the same thing Susie! haha :-) I was expecting to see Michael Langdon stoking the fire hehe :-)
Good video Great intro beautiful intro!! Deffanity 1800's
Hi Paul thanks for stopping bye and watching! :-) Glad you enjoyed this old beauty :-)
What a lovely spot to live that would be. Imagining all the charm the cottage had when it was lived in.
These homes with almost nothing left behind, make me think hmmmm... what might be hidden beneath the surface outside... I think I'd have to get a small detector, what they call a pinpoint one, simple to take along, for a bit of "catch and release" :D
He yTanya! :-) Yes a few others have stated that taking a metal detector to these old homes would be awesome! :-) I would love to see what these old home were like in their prime! :-)
Outstanding what a Gem .❤
Great job dude! Be careful always
Hey Marss Ppta thanks for your support! :-)
What kind of trees..those two big ones ? Thanks for the great explore. Love the views.
I give you credit for exploring rickity old places. I like to do that too, but it can be dangerous. You are quite adept at it. Through your lens I get to enjoy your Australian finds. I'm seeing Australia from a different perspective. Some is like my area in the states. Especially mountain in the Sierra Nevadas
Nancy it makes me happy that you can enjoy Australia through these videos, I really like finding these old places and i try to be very careful while doing so haha, thanks for the support and for watching :-)
Another great find. You could picture them making a wonderful home there, farming, raising their animals, planting trees. Making things from sheep wool, making beds useing straw stuffing or animal feathers.
Useing the lower part of the house to keep their food cooler, butcher animals, build furniture, store their firewood like you said.
In that cupboard the thin bit on the side I bet held firewood for the cool stove. Did you know that a tiney good old fashioned Victorian once wood burning stove for a doll house is like $40. U.S. dollars?! With prices of today poor 'dolls' will have to take a loan out to 'buy' their doll house homes. Ha, ha! (Doll house making can be pricey, but I luv doing it.)
Dingos are in Australia. They are really wolf/ very smart & I luv em.
Hey Ruth! :-) thanks for your support! :-) I do really wish i could just go back in time for an hour to see how they lived and what it looked like in its prime! :-) Equally divided into 4 large rooms yet there was no bathroom or toilet?? lol
You must be creative and patient to make those dolls houses? Great skills :-0
@@urbexindigo5164 Hi Paul. It's like you said about wanting to go back in time for a short while. I guess that's why folks like doll houses like Victorian ones. They can pretend to be back in time for awhile.
I guess most folks were too busy trying to get by to think about indoor plumbing & stuff back then. They were digging root cellers to try to keep food abit longer & all.
Mrs Lincoln had inside her bed room what looked like a real toilet of today but it was wooden, no pipes and had a bowl to catch the 'shuff'.
I have a masoleaum, part of one that's open to show a skeleton band & little skeletons sitting at tiney tables drinking & chomping on food & a Masoleaum Inn with lighting & casket beds and furniture with tiney booz bottles on the little counter (for Halloween) & a castle that will get done eventually, then I'll try to make a video on it. The Graveyard is really made from cig boxes covered over. When done I'll pop over & let you know & I hope you might give it a watch?! Will try to make it fun to watch.
@@urbexindigo5164 If you could go back in time for abit don't get sick in that time period. They weren't great on medicine back then.
Folks were dieing from 'milk sickness'. What it was ...was the cows were in the field eatting grass but also a small plant with white flowers on it that was posion to humans & a very painfull way to die. Also they only got sick in the spring, summer but in winter the cows mostly ate hay so folks didn't get sick. A women figured out about the white flowers but I can't remember her name.
AHhhh be on the lookout for crazy stuff You Tube might be doing. Seems they're taking folks subs away thinking they might be 'generated subs' or something like that. I get emails that folks state thrived subbed to me yet my # never seems to go up & UT won't show any of my videos on prime time with everyone else. Plus some have just DISAPPEARED ! Why? I don't make 'nasty' videos.
That's why I haven't put others up in awhile but I will.
Oh well. I still wonder what might have been under that pile of leaves in one of your videos.😉 For fun you should put a rubber arm in the top of the pile of leaves & put a trail cammar up to see the reaction if any.
I put a rubber hand & phoney arm (even put a ring on the finger) & had it hanging from my trunk one Oct. month. Folks would hunk their horns & point.
Then I got pulled over by two cops who thought I had a body in the trunk. The sargeant caught it after looking at it up close but the rookie cop with him was gong hoe ...till I opened the trunk & they found it was fake. The sarg. laughed & the rookie got red in the face. Hope I haven't bored ya. Nice chat. If you ever need a dollhouse let me know. I'll not take a cent.
Ahhh beddy by time.
Great explore loved the intact ceiling and stove. The under croft/cellar work space was unusual. I wonder how old those bottles were? Loved it.
Hey mate, seems they picked the hardest spot to build a house. they would of been a fit family haha :-)
Great place ,Great video!
Hey L L, thanks for your support! :-)
Hey mate , thats very cool , liked it , take care , enjoyed this.
Cheers Steve! I appreciate your support! :-)
Very interesting, I would say 17th century as well. never have seen a roof slide off.
I think this was probably part of a sheep ranch. Very nice video, keep up the good work!!!
Good call appyd02d , glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :-)
Fantastic channel!
Hey eXplorer thanks for watching! I will check out your channel, it looks cool ! :-)
Great video. Excellent discovery.
Thanks Marlo! I was lucky to see this one just out the corner of my eye while driving! :-)
Urbex Indigo those are the best.. unplanned and just so happens... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I agree Marlo, was a very nice surprise! As was how steep that hill got as I went lol :-)
very nice, good to see how history before its all gone.
What a spot to build a home! Keep fit climbing those hills all the time! Thanks for watching Vicky :-)
Beautiful old gem shame that there is a lot of decay very mysterious love the fireplaces and the beautiful country side very quiet
I've never been outside of the United States before.. I'm from the West coast and I've only ever been as far east as South Dakota.. my parents took me to see Mount Rushmore monument when is was like 12 or 13.. beautiful country side up there too..
Hey White Rabbit thanks for watching! I`v only seen Mt Rushmore on TV :-)
@@urbexindigo5164🌟 yeah seeing Mount Rushmore on a screen does no justice for how massive it actually in in real life up close.. but it's beautiful amazing work they made out of that mountain..
@@thewhiterabbit2076 ..true that I live in South Dakota and Mount Rushmore is beautiful :)
EARTH ANGEL😇 I THINK this is an Awesome place!!!🤔 Gorgeous location!! I “feel” that this was a sheep-farmers home!?🐑🐏 Another home I’d love 💕 to live in! Grand room with a magnificent ,simple fireplace!! Cozy in the wintertime,cool in summer. Sweet old iron stove would surely blast you out of there when it was cranked up!!🔥. They really “ cleaned “ that place out!!!👍😍🧟♀️🧛♀️👍
An amazing property. Once the roof collapses it will take some of the walls with it. Not a very long life left for it. Any restoration will involve masses of rebuilding, more expensive than its worth!.
Yeah I think you are right Phillip, that roof was sliding off too, the rot gets in and takes over. Glad I was able to document it. Thanks for watching Phillip :-)
I like the place its awesome i cant explore that house alone lol
Hey Venice ka :-) It was an adventurous explore for sure! cheers for watching :-)
Thanks yeah i enjoyed absolutely
I think that is nice. Land is
Real nice too!
Hey Diamond in the rough! :-0 Thanks for watching. Glad you like this one :-)
Where is this. Love the scenery. Look forward to inside. Strange. Widh you had some history
Thats always interesting . Cali
South of Adelaide toward the coast ;-)
Looked like a metal tank, or chest of some sort in that last room where you looked in the window. Wonder what that would have been used for? Storing grain/oat flakes/flour, soaking Willow withies for making baskets & weaving protective covers onto bottles, soaking straw for making hats, bags & bee skeps, or tanning animal hides? Though the last would have been a bit smelly for in the house. Also could have been used for storing clay for multiple uses.
Hmmm i`m curious about that chest too now!!!! lol This home had no bathroom or toilet! Four equally divided large rooms! Intersting! Thanks for watching Sarah :-)
LOVE the open!!!! This find is amazing. Would this have been the original farmhouse for the original farm? And why has this hillside not been grazed down, do you think? Thanks- this was great!
Yep definitely the original farmhouse SDK :-)
