It would be nice to know. But the past sometimes does not release its secret's easily.

Hot as, around high 30's. Buckets should always be emptied every so often otherwise you will end up with too many buckets😙🤔😆, Anyway thanks for watching and the comment.

🙂Love the Pilbara. Spent a few days on my honeymoon👰 in 🧟‍♂🧟‍♀Wittenoom back in the late 80's before heading further North and the Pilbara still has a special place in my ♥

I agree, Takes character to work/live in remote Australia

Hi zoezoe610 thanks for the comment. Do you mean "Van" as in caravan or a car "Van". I don't have any experience with caravans but hopefully this will help. The road from Mullewa to the turn off for Woolgorong Homestead is half bitumen and half fast gravel. From the turn which if about 30kms from the homestead if memory serves me correctly is corrugated gravel rough in places. But would be IMO drivable with a offroad caravan. With caution a normal car could do it. The Homestead has a caretaker which you should call in to let him know you are about . Nice guy, very helpful with lots of information. Note: This was how it was in August 2023. Shouldn't have change much though.

@@ourtraveldiaries247 Thanks for that we have a full offroad van and often head out to the remoter areas. We recently had a stop at Warriedar Homestead which is nice if you have not been to that one. Thanks again and we check some of these places they are interesting and all have a bit of a story.

@@zoezoe610 There is something special about being in a remote area where few have been before. We have been to Warriedar Homestead in the Karara Rangeland several years ago, but don't have any drone footage of the Homestead, probably have get back there once the weather cools down.

@@ourtraveldiaries247 Thanks buddy

Thanks for your comment, I always find it interesting to hear about peoples personal interaction with places I have been to🙂.

Thanks for visiting. I Appreciate the comment. Glad yo liked the video.

🙂Tin sheds up north can really be hot and I admire anyone that can work in such challenging conditions. I Haven't seen too many stone shearing sheds though, but any stone sheds I have been in are a bit cooler than outside of it.

Hard life shearing. One on my uncles was a gun shearer in the 70's finally had to give up shearing 🐏🐑up due to his back giving out. But it seems in this modern era the small family farm is dying at a faster and faster rate.

Yup, I agree. I been to some places where the intentional damage done to infrastructure has been annoying and possibly in some cases life threating.

Thanks for the comment. You won't often find any talking in my Drones video but on occasions there is informative text popups. My aim is to try to create a visual experience for the viewer and try to entertain that way rather than through talking. Note that the videos description will often give an extensive history of the place being filmed and reading this can give a good insight to the videos subject. Animals are rarely seen near the homestead and as such most likely won't be seen in a video that a Homestead is the main focus. I try to capture drone video of animals when I can but when I do these would probably be used in a video of there own. I have several such videos of Emus, Swans & Native Hens that can be found on My Channel.🙂

i agree, foreign and local corporations are the culprits. based on the info in the description i did a bit of research and Gina Rinehart's name came up in relation to Shangai Cred which is a chinese real estate company; Hmmmm Greed indeed.

@@rochford59 and our governments willingness to hand it to them on a plate

​@@bradleamon4466..Noted,they can't be let off the hook too easily🤔

😉 Hey, thanks for the appreciation of the drone footage.🙂

Our research could not find any reference to what livestock the station ran. The station was taken over by Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) or it would been called Conversation And Land Management (CALM) when it did back in 1999. It is currently a Nature Reserve with the Western Australian State Government intending to create a National Park with the land. The Muggon Pastoral Lease is/was over 180000 hectares in size.

Its a pity to see the loss of the Australian Primary industries which causes outback families to leave their land.

It seems so. The owners sell up then walk away in some cases leaving behinds cars/trucks/ furniture and in the case of Muggon Homestead a few bits of furniture as well as a Telstra Satellite Disk/Box that must have been worth some money.

Wow what an experience. I've been in some similar places but never a haunted one.👻👻

@petesmith9472 Wow! were you a caretaker at one of these places. i always thougth when i retire it would be cool to do something like that but after reading your experience . . . i think not. i like looking around old places so I'll visit but not stay 😨😰

I agree it looks like it would have been grand in its heyday.

Hi @peterwhelan6144 I appreciate the thanks. Some of these homestead were great places in their day and its a shame to see them fall into disrepair.

Thanks. Glad the video helped you out in some small way.

apparently the pastoral lease was bought out by Shangai CRED with other pastoral leases. My guess is that if they merge the other pastoral leases they only need one homestead so the remaining homesteads including this one get abandoned for nature to reclaim if vandals don't beat mother nature.😥😥

@@Dingoes-l3f well with a name like you mentioned sounds like thanks to our piss week foreign investment laws someone from another country has just crept a little bit further into our country

@@bradleamon4466 Yeah! its sad but true, we continue to throw the baby out with the bath water and successive govts only make it easier for other nations to grab a slice of Australia - Grrrr

@@Dingoes-l3f let them lease as much as they want but never let them own it unless they are on of our allies

@@bradleamon4466 I see a problem with that as in the situation of "Friends today enemies tomorrow".

🙂No its too far South. You only get crocs (Salt/Freshwater) in the Kimberley in WA.🐊🐊

🙂There is at least one working freshwater bore on the homestead with water available from a tap near the old chimney (at the 1.05 secs mark in the video). There is also a shower with a donkey heater and flushing toilet nearby. We did not drink the water ourselves but we have been told that it is drinkable. ⛲

@ourtraveldiaries247 what a nice place it's very close to prosprcting areas too. Thank you for the information. 😁

Thanks @grahammundy2625, for that information. Its always good to hear about peoples experiences as it gives a greater insight to our past history. Might need to go back there to have more of a look around🙂.

Interesting to hear from someone who actually knew the place while it still operating. Sounds like a job an half to coat those tanks and pool but how lovely to have a pool fed from a fresh bore. thanks for sharing @grahammundy2625 😀

🙂Thanks I appreciate your Thanks. Glad you are enjoying the channel.

Here, here, we should be like other nations who don't allow a non resident to buy land only lease it for so long but 💰💸🤑 always wins out

Sadly vandalism isn't the sole domain of our citys, like a virus it's spread everywhere 👎

It is.

Thanks, Seeing a place during wild flower can make a lot of difference to how a place looks🥀🌻🥀

Yeah, i've seen some of those termite mounds in the middle of dusty outback roads and many with flat tops but you simply can't avoid them all especially is there is oncoming traffic. No doubt temps get hot 🥵 in the Pilbara and those copper pipes would heat up for sure but think of the money you'd be saving on hot water heating. If heat is a negative in the Pilbara, the scenery is certainly a positive. I like the Pilbara region 👍

Its the way it happens now😥. The Jeedamya Property was brough by the Chinese Shangai CRED company which also owns some of the properties around Jeedamya.

Hmm... I agree with you @FeralDingo123. I did a google search on Shangai Cred, they have some interesting bedfellows; eg: Port Adelaide FC, & Gina Rinehart. Other stations purchased at the same time as Jeedamya were Melita and Kookynie Stations all previously owned by Mr Burton. The price paid for all three was a little more than beads and blankets at the princely sum of $2 Million. Interestingly they also bought 2 stations in the Kimberley, Yakka Munga and Mt Elizabeth Stations. All that said, who is at fault, the Buyer or the Seller??? 💰🤑💸

Such a shame. These stations help build Australia on the Merinos back.

@@leoniemusgrave9322 Ah! the Merino Sheep. Australia's merino wool was highly regarded in the world but govt policies in the late 1900's and i'm sure other factors saw our wool industry decline. I agree it is a crying shame . . . . . . 🐑🐑

Thanks for the comment, It seems that Mr Jack Burton sold it to Shangai CRED a Chinese group.

Is that "Red Dog" the movie. Seen it a long time ago but don't really remember it that much.🐶😉Have to watch it again🙂

Thanks @ghostrider9978🙂, Glad you enjoyed the video. Your comment is very much appreciated.👏

@ghostrider9978 Many thanks for your comment👏. I am glad that you have enjoyed this video and the History. also Thanks for the Thanks🙂

@@ourtraveldiaries247 I agree, i enjoy reading your descriptions, the add to the viewing experience, Thanks for sharing and i look forward to seeing more of the sights you visit. 👏👏🙂

Sometimes you gotta wonder

Yeah vandals are a exterminated if caught, but termites have it more stuff than broken windows , boards torn of to inspect how severe rot was , terminal I guess

@@holdenbrougham1056 No doubt Termites can be very destructive.🐜

@@ourtraveldiaries247 They're why Queenslanders were built on stilts. The first buildings there were conventional, built on the ground out of wood, and they were ravaged by termites.

It looks like a combination of termite damage, damage for termite inspection as @holdenbrougham1056 mentioned but it certainly looks as if vandals have also played a part. Difference between termites doing damage and vandals is termites do it for natural survival while vandals do it for un-natural pleasure. @deaddoll1361 I wasn't aware Queenslander houses were built for termite protection, thanks for the info. I thought it was for cooling so the breeze flowed underneath the house and also so the home could be levelled on rocky or uneven ground. That said I like looking at an original Queenslander home, the wide verandahs in particular. 🐜🐜

yeah, Its a pity......

i guess we have three types of vandals, citizen vandals and govt vandals and greedy corporation vandals. It is sad that pieces of Australia are being sold off. Grrr 😠

There is a sadness in visiting places where dreams have fallen through😞

😂Yes can't seem to avoid them. I been to some remote places that takes time and effort to get to only to find someone has already vandalized the site/place 🤨😖

yeah most of us go travelling to enjoy the sights not destroy them, but seems vandals like outback travel too. Grrr...😠

🪰🪰Flies Flies Flies and more Flies 🧊Yup need a working fridge

Gidday back👋. There is a bit of information in the video's description, but was hard to find a lot of information.🏚🏡

Be a lot of work though🏚🏠⏳

@@ourtraveldiaries247 Yes but a lot of satisfaction.

Probably could get it cheap if someone wanted to🙂🏚

@@ourtraveldiaries247 would be nice to see,youngsters given chance to step up,great videos by the way,thanks

@@mechanics4all405 Thanks. Would be a great opportunity for the young handyperson.🤔

yes, it would be nice to see this restored to its former glory but who would do it. If it was still in the hands of DBCA the Govt could use a restoration like this to train up young kids in building skills. 🏚

Thanks, It was one of the heaviest storms that I have been caught while camping. But still its an experience🌪🌧🌩😀.

Thanks👍, Glad you like these videos about Australia. Plenty more videos to come (Every two weeks) so hopefully there will be more to love🙂

Thank you for your comment, I am aware that my channel may not appeal to everybody. that said, I hope that you did not waste too much of your time watching this video. After all even 15 seconds can be precious. Did you read the Videos Description which provides a lot of information, is this the type of information you would like. What talking would you consider appropriate for this type of video? Note: You may not be aware that most Drones ( mine doesn't ) do not record sound and any talking would have to be added in post production. If you find the content of this channel to be boring may I suggest that you only visit channels that produce content that you like or, create you own channel and expend the time, effort and money to produce your own content that you feel is appropriate to you. Anyway, thanks again for your comment.

No doubt about, Australia has lot of ghost towns & ruins that are always interesting to explore🚙🕷🙂

Esperance can get cold.🏄‍♀The beaches are great and well worth a visit.
