An Almost Entirely Abandoned Australian Town in the Australian Outback

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Join me for an adventure through history in a near fully abandoned town in Outback Australia. What are your thoughts on the lives these people would have lived? Tell me in the comments below Thank you for your support 🙏🏼

[@leighsayers2628]

I wonder what the history of this town was ..why was it abandoned and what was the town built there for . .needs a back story . Lovely video vision .

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you Leigh and yes I'm happy to answer any questions on email and thank you for your support and glad you enjoyed the video 😃

[@leannemayor5755]

It makes me sad to see these beautiful old towns that were once filled with life. I do love seeing the old buildings and homes . It looks like a humble place .thank you xo

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Same here, Leanne. I wonder the stories the walls could tell, the stories the streets could tell of people talking, walking and making a community at the time. You're welcome and thank you for kind words you shared 😀🤗

@@DrewsAdventuresGo you can almost hear the whispered voices. I loved exploring rural country towns and I’ve seen a lot. I imagine a sheep station near by or a wheat farm and the towns folk working on the stations. It would have been a simple life , I think a better life in some ways. I lived in a small town 400 people in a huge region between Hervey Bay bundy and Maryborough we were in the triangle , it was a very small town and the people were kind and accepting of we city slickers as it were. I know most would have been happy with their lot in life Xo have a great weekend

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

I think you're absolutely right there. It's perhaps a tough life in some places but also a world away from the hustle and bustle us city people deal with 💯😀

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

You too Leanne have a wonderful weekend x

[@jacqueevelyn6411]

Thank You Drew this was a good one ☺

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you Jacque. It's one town that I reckon would have had so much more to see but alas time factors this trip. Thank you for enjoying it with me 😍

[@annehardy4329]

What an awesome find I just loved the place. Thanks for sharing

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you Anne and it was an incredible place to explore. I love history and exploring and love to share these kinds of places with others and it's nice to have nice feedback 😀

[@IntrepidsRus]

Almost, Entirely!! Love it. Notifications set Drew, see you there. I'll add the link to my premiere.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Aha yes it's got hmm 2 places not yet abandoned but 90% is long gone. Thank you so much Intrepids for your support 🤗

[@challengingkitchen3554]

Fascinating Drew. An entire town just gone. Oh and that poor goat 🥲. Great video

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Yes so true hey. It was sad to see. Poor thing probably got stuck in the house or something. This town has just 4 residents left now and it's a time capsule of the past

[@challengingkitchen3554]

@@DrewsAdventuresGo that’s what I was thinking regarding the goat. Wow, only 4 residents now, amazing

[@scratchinpetepa]

Thanks for sharing Drew! Enjoyed it. Have a nice weekend 😊

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you so much Pete and hope you have a restful and fantastic Weekend too 😍

[@nannerz1994]

Without the music, this would be excellent ASMR! Cool video thanks for sharing

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you for the constructive feedback and I've been thinking of doing less music actually. Thank you for watching and your support

[@meganpaull6140]

Great video Drew felt very sad but interesting all the same im sure there is lots of history would be interested to know any back stories

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Yes I'd love to find a book of the history of these places Megan. I reckon there's a lot that's untold of this town and nearby

[@ianhill4858]

A wonderful town to visit Drew,must return one day. Another great video!

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you Ian and yes it's a time capsule there and a fascinating place to explore. Thank you for watching my friend

[@MAMysteryTours]

Hi Drew Awesome Find. It looks very cool. Thank you for sharing. 😊😊😊

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you M&A and you're welcome and glad you enjoyed it 🤗

[@nothingextra10]

СУПЕР ! 24👍 Hi, WELCOME, STAY WITH ME 🤗

[@casscumerford5886]

wow---wish i was there---love seeing what books they left most of all

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you Cass for watching and glad you enjoyed it. I always love to showcase these places before they disappear forever.

[@Outdoorstype]

Nice one, Drew. You make tapes look ancient.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Thank you Mike and yes I have to admit I loved tapes as a kid. Then it was CDs by age 8 or 9 for me 😍

[@JohnShinn1960]

I myself could spend days there exploring and when I'm finished, read some books! You, Heather and Werner should've rented a caravan, or did you? I would love to see all of this place. Thanks for the explores Drew! 🤠👍 🇺🇸

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Yes exactly John I'm with you there. I'd love to wander more through it. We stayed in Broken Hill and this was on the drive from the "Silver City" as it is known, back to Adelaide

[@ajvintage9579]

The book was Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. That was a 1940s movie also. Great video!

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Oh awesome AJ and thank you for that information. I will try find out more. Thank you too for your support mate 😃

[@TommyAlanRaines]

Seeing all those books made me think of all the ones- I once had. From the looks of it there must have been more houses at one time. Cool Explore!

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Yes well my dream would be to have a house with a library. One day, Tommy. I bet you had some awesome classics? Thank you for watching my friend 😍

[@geoffreytbh]

Do people just trash the places when they leave or did people come and loot the place? It’s interesting how much stuff they leave behind too.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

I think the people just left and left what was, behind. I hope no one ever loots it but it's always a possibility, unfortunately. I think I'd leave my vacuum behind aha. Such a pain of a task 😄

[@Lij_MC]

​@@DrewsAdventuresGowhat is this town called?

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Happy to email you the location mate 😀

[@bec_r_r]

Is it near Maralinga where the British let off atomic bombs?

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

You're spot on Bec and they did. Even to this day Maralinga has high levels of radiation and sections are off limits

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Sorry no this location is not close to Maralinga. I re-read your comment, my bad, sorry.

[@Ninsidhe]

@@DrewsAdventuresGo it reminds me of Beltana- I love it there. I’d live here for sure.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Yes Beltana is a beautiful town. Quite remote but peaceful and thank you for you kind comment and support 😀

[@shanefraser7764]

Margret urlich is our kiwi singer from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Ahh thank you for the info. I just read she passed away last year 😢

[@shanefraser7764]

@DrewsAdventuresGo yes she did, she was part of a bigger girl band that was really popular, (when the cats away) their music was popular here in nz and also aussie,✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

@shanefraser7764 I need to research her. Big thank you too mate for subscribing. Glad to say you are my 1000th subscriber and big thank you to you 😃

[@glenemma1]

What was the name of this town?

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Hi Glen feel free to email me (email in my about page here) but I prefer not to say the name on here cos sometimes others with ill intentions may go to the spots and cause issues. Not saying you at all but someone else out there may see the location and cause issues mate. Thank you for watching and hope you enjoyed it 😀

[@androidbox3571]

How about explaining why the town existed and why it was abandoned, this dialogue is in dire need of some background information.

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

That's fair but often that gives away too much location information for an area that could be vandalised unfortunately. Thank you for watching and for the feedback 😊 😀

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Feel free to email me though if you want any further information. Email is in my about me page 😀
