Great story very resilient lady old molly. Rip. Yes we hope the old homestead site stays preserved.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thank you very much....

[@scann13]

We've met Cobby. One of the nicest fella's you'll ever meet!

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes he is, such a pity that he is not the caretaker anymore

[@fiveminuteman]

What a great story and the guy looking after it is a top bloke👍

[@johnblyth9787]

Needs all this history put into a book. If this man passes a lot of this knowledge will be lost. Also needs someone young put on as a caretaker. Well done video with so much of our heritage from the very early times. Our mother born in 1923 shared what us boys what we called grandpa story's.

[@AlloffroadAu]

sadly he already passed a few years ago now

[@aus_overlander]

I was lucky enough to go here in 2013. It was such a special experience. I hope it lasts for many generations to come.

[@pearcem66]

Really enjoyed that thanks. So important to keep these stories alive. Thanks Stefan and thanks Meegan for the text at the end. Your Grandma was certainly a remarkable lady.

I was still working at New Andado station for Donny Costelo when Molly Clark was still living at Old Andado station, she was a tough pioneer and an Australian outback legend , she was always 2 steps ahead of you when you thought you were infront and always was welcoming. RIP Molly

Great to see and learn some history Thanks Stefan

[@hardliquor4x493]

That was great mate love seeing old history i dont know how they could bare the heat and flies out there for so long just goes to show they just got on with it bloody great video thanks for sharing it.AWESOME

[@zoezoe610]

This was fantastic, My 4wding is just this kind pf touring with the destination and story at the end. There is nothing better than going to places like this and the gentleman who showed you around is a story in himself. His eyes tell a great journey he has lived. Another place for a story you might like is Talem Town in Sth Australia where a fellow Peter Squires over 30 years has built an old town from original buildings he has transported to there to show some history.

[@NISMO-OFFROAD]

awesome watch mate, great history lesson

[@shanebaker2195]

That was really great Stefan. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share it. Cheers

[@oldgrumpy]

You took me back in time mate. That is exactly how our old south african folks used to live in the days on the farms. I am sure there are still some of those houses in the karoo and kalahari.

[@ChrisJonas-k5r]

Having just visited old andado I was amazed to see the homestead. The utube video shows heaps of features and how things were back then. Great insight as to lots of things not seen on such a short visit. Fantasatic video Well worth the visit. Congratulations to volunteers maintaining this wonderful part of our rich heritage.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gerhardpetersen]

Great video Stefan. I think you did a fantastic job of getting the story from Old Mate, who undoubtedly must be fed up to the eyeballs of camera toting tourists.

[@kirkc4696]

Thanks for this wonderful look at how it used to be. Molly Clark is a legend, and you presented her with aplomb. Many of the station items are familar to me in south west Queensland.

[@aaron230185]

A credit to travellers who visit this area. We visited is a month ago in 2021 and the caretaker had been evicted, but the station was exactly the same and welcomed visitors with even with showers. Unbelievably the house was exactly the same.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes Coby is gone for nearly two years, good to see the stuff is still there

[@bjgtrev1970]

Loved the place was a bit run down the last time I stopped there.

[@AlloffroadAu]

when where you there? was there still a caretaker?

[@mickmay6569]

Thanks for that...

[@stuartpx1]

Fantastic

[@SamboC177]

Visited and camped at Old Andado on 17/6/21 and everything is still in good condition although the place is now vacant. No Cobby or caretaker there anymore.

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes sadly Cobby past away last year, good to hear it's still in good condition.

[@SamboC177]

RIP Cobby. I remember him from my 2016 visit. A wealth of historical knowledge.

[@bedandy2006]

Unfortunately, Cobby Bob passed in 2020. This video will remain a tribute to Molly & Cobby. May they both rest in peace.

[@AlloffroadAu]

very sad to hear

[@robdotcom71]

Thank christ that everyone who's visited this site hasn't trashed it, stolen stuff or left graffiti or rubbish....

[@paulformaioni37]

generally people that travel out that far arent criminally inclined

[@adia3056]

Can one stay there?

[@AlloffroadAu]

you could camp in the campground and walk trough the homestead , but that was closed shortly after us I'm not sure what the current status is?
