Abandoned- Pistol/Rifle Range- Chilled out explore in the Aussie Bush

[@fatihaidrissi2743]

That is completely awesome.Thank you for sharing your visit👍👍.

[@marineonewife]

That greenish box you walked by a little before 9:27, looks like a trap shooting launching box. My brother in law had one at his farm and we had tournaments for shooting trap, round clay disks.

Cool place. Thanks for the tour, Paul.

Unusual but interesting location. Great video with lots of description. Thanks

Hi Wayne thanks for watching mate :-)

[@baylaschauer3122]

Love the landscape! Very green. I have been watching on my new tv, so can’t comment on there. :(

[@francoiset1068]

Dear urbex indigo ,I like to know your name ,that is if you want of course , I believe that every abandoned place has a story behind it ,that's why I love watching you ,I enjoyed this one in Victoria where I'm from when I go for drives I see old abandoned houses and I feel like doing my own explores but I get scared ,is one of my favorite KZbin channels urban exploration n paranormal videos from all over the world is amazing the places,. you all do a wonderful job ,big 🤗 from a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺n have a great weekend

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Francoise :-) You should stop off at the next abandoned place you fine and take some photos? You will enjoy it and like beating the fear factor of being scared :-) Glad you like the exploring channels, I also have a paranormal channel, hav enot uploaded to it for over a year now though. Thanks for watching :-)

[@traciesnature]

I know this was yrs ago, but I'm just watching it. cheers.

[@JonathonWoodgate]

Very interesting...

[@marilynburak4452]

I got behind in watching, but I’m back...love your accent too..☺️

[@maristresemann4552]

That was different. I think I can feel the testosterone from back then. Guys in their boots and hunting jackets with their guns through their arm. Big cigars in their mouths discussing events of the day. Happy to seeing you a little more often!!

[@earthbound4now474]

Would love it if people who gave a thumbs down also provided links to thier 'better' videos... Thanks Paul for what you document and share👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 making up for the 9 down so far🤗

[@bronxboy131]

That was a nice explore;different; The tractors looked like they were barely used the tires looked new . No signs of farming that I could see>No Bees or snakes-a dance in the park eh? ☮❤

No worries Janelle, thanks for watching :-)

Any crime being perpetrated by a criminal is going to use whatever they can get their hands on to do the crime. Inanimate objects do not use themselves, they must be wielded by someone. I liked this video Paul, it was different than the ones I've seen you post. Of course I love them all because of the details you show & the information. Keep up the great videos. Love from Louisiana USA! 💜👍

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Donette :-) I agree that idiots will find anything to cause harm if that is there intent. Thanks for watching :-)

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Enjoyed this explore, I always felt the gun was not the problem it was the human holding the gun. Thank you Mr Paul.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Wendy, yepp that seems to be the feeling here too. Thanks for watching :-)

[@cherihill2003]

I agree!

[@marineonewife]

Totally agree. A gun never gets up by itself and shoots!

[@debraellison6255]

You are thoughtful when you film through the glass you shade with your hand. The landscapes in your country are beautiful. Even in the winter and overgrown. I think I found one of your paranormal videos. I have been trying to catch up since I found your site. Thanks for sharing.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Debra thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the landscapes, I like getting out in these areas and there are many more I will get to in the bush too :-) Beyond Boundaries Paranormal or BBP Videos is the channel :-)

[@melfromnz7850]

Looking nice and green in that part, we're getting a few drops of rain today so here's hoping it will amount to something. Cool explore ... wondering if anyone goes camping there? Scary buildings, never know what you're going to disturb lol

[@rebalyon6114]

That was interesting. Surprised l did not hear much birdsong for such a lovely natural area. ❤️🇺🇸

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Reba, yes it was very windy so maybe the birds were all a bit quiet. Thanks for watching :-)

[@FogartyAvenue]

Interesting vid. I have never even thought of the concept of an abandoned gun range. Cool vid. It looks like a farmer uses it now/ has camp outs there judging by the stuff in the newer club house. Not fully abandoned but still sick. P.S that was not a well with a bit of water in it, it was a cattle trough. Cool vid.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey mate thanks for stopping bye :-) Yeah I could just see the sheds through the trees from the highway so had to check it out and see what they were :-)

[@donellemiller6680]

Pretty elaborate range! We have a military range near us that doesn't have as many buildings. I've not been to many gun ranges, my dad taught myself and my brother archery. So archery range was our weekend hide outs lol. Probably because my dad was in the military and a cop he had enough guns on duty. Thanks for sharing!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Donelle, yep you would have far more clue about these type ranges than me, I only could see the sheds just through the trees which is what made me stop and take a wander through but there was an old sign in the grass saying pistol range. Thanks for watching :-)

[@windhorse4straveler647]

We call that domed building a quonset but. In California there were some used for schools many years ago. I've been on a pistol range once. Lots of fun hitting targets. But loud. Imagine the sound ricocheting all over out there!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Ive never used a pistol and it would be fun. Thanks for watching WindHorses :-)

[@beachbum433]

Been working my way through these incredible videos, and only just came across this. In Oz, those huts were called Nissan huts, much used by the Australian Army. I HAVE heard the name "quonset" & now I know where it originated. This is for Paul: I used to work in a bank, long time ago, I took a couple of pistols home planning on a long Easter weekend up in the Flinders Ranges. Lotsa bottles & cans got shot. I would've shared the same fate, had my boss found out... BTW, I couldn't kill anything. I can't even go fishing. Love guns, though...

[@marlinmr7]

That was a very cool find and video all the way around - no doubt! Were it I though - would be checking into both of those tractors though - see if I could get one or both to run! The John Deere had a nice loader on the front and what looked like a back hoe on the back - could do some pretty serious landscaping with that one. :-)

[@AdilsonSFaria]

Fantástico YES 👍👍👍

[@ghostrider9978]

Love the old farm gear ,, bit of a different one but still great . I think Bridget McKenzie needs to join this club ( only aussies would understand)🙂😂😂😂 have a great weekend.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yeah I didnt have time this week to edit any others explores and had this one uploaded already on private setting so this one got the nod haha. I still enjoyed finding this, I could see the old sheds through the trees so I just had to find out was in there haha, thanks for watching mate :-)

[@sandypritchard6216]

It's beautiful and so peaceful out there. Am so Glad to see the rain coming down. I used to target shoot. We went to a couple different ranges.they look pretty similar to this range. I had more fun tho..going out to a friend's farm to shoot. Everyone would show up and bring along their mini arsenal..haha. I preferred to use the handguns. Not the 44mag tho. I hated the recoil from it. They've left behind..some really nice equipment? I wonder what they are planning to do with the range and tractors? Thanks for the tour..Stay safe😄

[@sandrap3089]

This was a really nice explore thanks for sharing

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you ennjoyed Sandra, thanks for wa

[@wilsonwilson8086]

The First part of the range was for trap shooting, the tower was for skeet shooting. Both clay target areas, shotguns , etc...

[@traciesnature]

the big metal pole may have had a wind sock for planes to land.. maybe looked like an airstrip.

[@rosa-f4865]

Glad to see you have rain this was different it looked like a good setup it should have been removed instead of rotting away and unused thank you for the walk about take care xx

[@urbexindigo5164]

Rosa, yes this one was back in August of last year so a few months before all the fires came through, thanks for watching :-)

Two possibilities for re-use An Archery range for Crossbow or target bow, or as a Nudist colony to allow the politicians a running start before aiming at them. needs a big sign, "You Can be seen From the Road" Cheers!!

Was interesting, yes it is true where it comes to guns, it; 's the operator....My son has his licence and had to do a very strict test for his, but he used it to kull on properties for farmers..

[@lynneperg6853]

The half round building is called a quonset hut here in the states and indeed it was used by the military. It was interesting to see the old shooting range. I was thinking that it was a good place to find bees and snakes. With all the deadly ones you have, better safe than sorry. Here in Michigan where I live we only have one venomous species. A pit viper called the Massasauga rattlesnake. It is a pygmy rattlesnake that usually is shorter than four feet and normally its bite won't kill an adult.

[@wendyhou3416]

Snake and tick country you are walking through to get to the rifle range 😟

[@omalleetours3456]

Is this in Sa or vic?

[@twistednerd23]

Good old Aussie bush hehehe. Was this filmed before the fires hit? In Dec we went to the port Auther,.Omg it's horrible sad and very sad feeling been there, all the people that lost thier life. I do remember hearing about the massacre.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi twistednerd23ed0 I had been to Port Arthur 4 years befor ethe shootings, beautiful and very historic place. A lot of inconsistent evidence is surfacing around the whole case and the fact the alledged shooter was not even given a trial .......

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep was in August last year so a few months before the fires, this is really only on the edge of the deep bush too :-)

[@twistednerd23]

[@rolfsinkgraven]

A very nice find, and some nice stuff left aswel, concerning fire ranges i think the first one at the tower was a rifle range but i did not see a protecting wall whatsoever there, so the second one was the pistol range and well surrounded by a wall, shoot me if im wrong lol

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yeah I think you could be right rolf, i`m not that familiar with these set ups lol. Thanks for watching :-)

[@sallya.2412]

Interesting target range. Although I would think they would have a berm or wall at end of range where they would be shooting, just to make sure no stray bullets are going else where. Looks like a big area and maybe they still come around to care for the buildings that are locked up.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Sally, yeah the locked up part looks like it has only been abandoned less time, there must be a farmer who still owns this land also. Thanks for watching :-)

[@cherihill2003]

That was one nice shooting range in its day! Target shooting is my favorite and only hobby these days. They are trying to grab our guns here in US too, hopefully not in my lifetime! Good explore, thanks!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Disarming the public Cheri. Glad you enjoyed the explore, thanks for watching :-)

[@marineonewife]

So sad they did that! They tried in Virginia and the left wants our guns, but in Virginia a few of the left went moderate and voted no on the gun grab. Although, they passed a few laws that were not so cool, like a person can only buy one gun a month. Our 2nd amendment protects all the other amendments.

[@markwilliams1824]

[@liltoomas]

location please 👍

[@timareskog2418]

Interesting old range though it looks to me as though it was never fully completed before closing down. The part with the bitumen area would have been a Carpark and not part of the shooting range simply because if they were shooting in the direction you indicated, the bullets would have been heading towards other people, so your direction was 180 degrees out. PM me as I should have some history on this place for you, I was a competitive shooter for a long time.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thanks for watching and the comments Tim, you are right I think , that makes more sense :-) Are you on FaceBook Tim?

[@theparrotrescuer3042]

Cool place...it perplexes me how other countries, when there's a mass shooting occurs gun laws change quickly..some how America still hasn't gotten it right...I own guns myself but I use them at my gun club for practice because they are strictly for hunting as I live a self sustainable life..good video Paul..thanks...you always find the good places.
