Come explore two very old Australian settlers cottages with me

[@michellerobinson1318]

I would much rather see people save antiques and things still usable then leave them to rot. It has been abandoned therefore no one wants the stuff. Glad to see you out and about Michael . much ❤

[@claire040776]

What the? You've got so much other stuff going on in your life Michael and you've put together this explore for us!! You rock!

[@mkuebler5]

Good to get away from it all.

[@ricklepick9148]

Wonderful to see you out exploring again!

[@LadyDiana1956]

I have missed these adventures. I love that big plant growing among the ruins.

[@tinasteer2507]

Glad to see you out and about and sounding like your enjoying life again. Appreciate all the trouble and expense you go to so we can see the country and the lifestyle people once had. Certainly puts us in our place when we think we must have this and that when all these people of this era had probably a lot less than the basics in life. I did scream “Don’t go in there”. I was worried it may be an old earth toilet and you would disappear down a deep hole. (First house near fridge).

[@jothankyou2]

Thank you again Michael. The railroad tie piece in the fireplace is cool. The bottle looked old to me . Must say the views of each house is amazing.

[@michelleray4516]

Well, I think I can safely say that Australians are a tough and hearty breed. I couldn't imagine living in a tin house in the heat there...I would probably die. And dealing with the flooding would have me packing my crap and finding some place else to live. Great to see you out exploring again.

[@mypeeps333]

You are a warrior 😘😘😘😘 🐥

[@janetelainedeloach6501]

Great to see you exploring the country side...They lived a simple primitive life....You are a survivor in your own way....,.Prayers to you on All of your troubles....

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

So good to see you out and about yes very strange to not see any plumbing in the first place

[@pianoforte6755]

It is lovely! Beautiful sky. Interesting and enjoyable explores! Of course you should sing🎶💟☮️🎶

[@gillwyatt8103]

Thank you Michael for your efforts to bring us this video. What fascinating old places - as you said we really don't appreciate how lucky we are. How people managed in those most basic of homes I can't imagine. The heat must have been unbearable and then there would have been snakes and creepy crawlies to deal with!!!! 🐍🐍🐍By the way, don't apologise for being out of breath - you are amazing! Gill 🇬🇧

[@claire040776]

Im so glad that you grabbed and took that bottle Michael! (I love old bottles!!)

[@pamelaklein98.85]

So good to hear your voice again. Thanks for a great explore Michael! And your shadow too!❤

[@oswaldthree]

Good to see the ubiquitous century plant? yucca? agave? that seems to be a feature of old properties all over Aust. - and often the only evidence left of earlier settler habitation! We used to call them "Space plants" (like Triffids!) and some were very tall. Great to see you out-and-about again, Michael :) RjB

[@michaelmurdoch5956]

Hi, great video. I was surprised you didn't seem at all worried about snakes. I would have been. lol Glad things are looking up for you. They are for me too, then someone stole my car. But that's for another day. I was subscribe under Joan Murdock before but I got a new PC and gmail wouldn't let me use that account. Whatever, right? lol I enjoyed your adventure and thanks for taking us along.

[@tinasteer2507]

Thanks for the memories

[@TheDancingunicorn]

Lovely to see you out and about again Michael. Love this bit of exploration, hope things are improving for you all around. Lots of love from Newcastle, Andrea 🥰

[@vlc4705]

Lovely old structures. Very peaceful.

[@shawneeb3771]

It amazes me that it all looks just like the abandon homes from here in the US out west. It looks so pretty and quiet there, would make a great get away place, shame it is all gone. That bush looks like a cherry tomto bush can't really tell for sure.

[@tinasteer2507]

23:05 the area outside at the back of the fireplace may have been where a wash trough and laundry tubs were. At an out building on my grandparents place there was a set up like this in an old dairy. There were pipes that ran into the fireplace that heated the water and a trough that you could wash all the equipment when you were finished the milking. There was a small tank resting on the bricks with a tap in.

[@marybethsmith6458]

I was trying to imagine what the first house would have looked like and the rooms standing look like they were added at a later date which is why they haven't crumbled yet. My Mom used to have me crawl under old houses to look for bottles and coins back in the 60s and early 70s when I was skinny as a rail. We found lots of interesting stuff back then.Its a wonder I didn't get snake bit

[@patigiddens1314]

Good to have you out and about! Love you my friend!!,❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@deborahsmith7970]

Thank you!! I love that bottle!

[@THEELDER1]

Awesome! thanks for sharing.

[@janelleconnell6601]

Thankyou Michael, Take care

[@claire040776]

I'm with you Michael! (That wood outside in the pile @ the second place would have been fan-fricken-tastic to take with you!)

[@rolfsinkgraven]

A very interesting story and nice explore, and that wood is still very usable, guess when the floods came they went up the hill and camped out there until it was over.

[@Urbex_key]

Sick video i hope to visit here one day!!

[@claire040776]

Im thinking the same as you, Michael, in that the second room of the fibro structure at the first place was probably the laundry.

[@linall2345]

I hate to see that wood go to waste too. Someone would love to make something from it I bet!

[@marilyndenler1370]

I’ve been subscribed and marked the bell for all notifications way back when. I see I’ve missed this and the last two videos you have made! I’ll be viewing them in a couple minutes😊. Glad you’re able to be out and about and hope you feel better. Take care👍🏻

[@servicedogkyzanna1761]

Thanks for these! I hope the house is coming along somewhat better? I'll be looking you up on Tik Tok!!!!!

[@b3autifullife]

Would love love love to metal detect on that property.

[@mkuebler5]

Come up.

[@b3autifullife]

@@mkuebler5 one day

[@QueenslanderMitch]

the plant is in the nightshade family, poisonous, not as bad as deadly nightshade but still poisonous, this one i think is known as winter cherry. and i would have taken that wood too trust me a lot of people would lol

[@kathyflorcruz552]

I never would have known about Australian floods had it not been for your channel, that they're historic- not a fluke happening from "climate crisis" crap as every MSM portrays catastrophic events that happen such as hurricanes here each year in the US & such. I appreciate your explores of old Australia & the recent experience as well. God bless. (Don't know if you went back back for that wood but hope you did!)

[@Nancy-kw8xz]

Hello Michael I really think your videos are great and I agree about taking that would it's only going to go to waste once again nice to see you you're always in my prayers I'm from upstate New York

[@jlarubia]

Just lovely

[@LuckySpinster.]

Loved it

[@BJH862]

What in the world it hat spangled plant at 9:06? It looks like a succulent gone crazy wild.

[@lexiequinus55]

Thank you

[@claire040776]

I'm thinking that they would have to of had a tank at the first place ..... idk 🤷‍♀️ really

[@paulmccormack6777]

Your a blood legend

[@theresa_lili]

Very interesting. Would there have been an out house? Maybe someone took the bathtub?? Or because of flooding they moved? Seems like there are so many abandoned properties there. Couldn't people buy some of these properties? I'd move there in a heart beat. Not sure how I missed this. Thank you for always thinking of us when you go out on your adventures. Please don't worry about your breathing. Most of us know about your health scares. I pray for you every day. Hard on us being so far away and not hearing from you. How is the flood repairs going?? How are you?? Hugs n much love.

[@theresa_lili]

Here in the states many newly married couples built garages before the houses. Some never built their houses. My ex FIL was actually born in the garage, in his older age teen years he slept in a lounge lawn chair. The family never got a house until after his father, an alcoholic, died. Take it. Take it all. I hate watching the castles in other countries and all the antiques rotting away, unloved. I hope you find this. Thanks again. Hugs

[@mrhominoid4312]

How do you spell the river name mole,moll,mould,moull?

[@michaelmurdoch5956]

By the way, I do believe the fruit you found is called passion fruit.

[@tinasteer2507]

No it definitely isn’t passion fruit! From a gardener.

[@Tammie-Burns1961]

You be careful walking around places like that. I see alot of dangerous things that could hurt you there are hidden dangers also out there so be careful.

[@mkuebler5]

Yes mum. 😁
