Forgotten farm house with lots of stuff and a classic Holden ute!

[@jacquilangley9766]

I grew up sleeping on a bed exactly like the pink one in the front room. It was the most comfortable bed and it was higher than normal beds so as a kid I’d have to run and jump to get on it. And underneath I would make a cubby house ☺️

Yes, recognise the Charles Hope refrigerator. We had one in the NT on a cattle station in 1958 through 1962. Sure brought back memories. Those wire bed bases and Kapok mattresses too. Dust catches big time!!.😅

THE GREATEST Vintage Fridge I have Ever seen!!!!!!!! GREAT Video, Paul!!!

[@marthamitchell9452]

That first bedroom has almost what they call “haint” blue ceiling. In the US south they would paint the ceiling of the front porch that color to keep away ghosts. Especially on the big wraparound porches. The interior of that Holden looked a lot like my grandmother’s 1964 Ford Falcon. They also had a body style like that as well as a 4 door sedan. It had a straight 6 and was the choice of the California Highway Patrol that year.

[@meganpaull6140]

🌟Hi Paul🤭! What an absolute old gem lots of history and stories to tell. Gotta love the classic old Holdens, love them I reckon the Ute could be restored. Thank you for the tour. ❤😊😇😉x

[@romanr9977]

I’d never heard of the Charles Hope brand either but I searched online and found a Museum Victoria page that states it was one of the very few Australian fridge manufacturers in the 1940s. Based in Brisbane. The fridge would come up a treat if restored! And the Holden Ute. Shame the family didn’t appreciate vintage items when the elderly parents would have left the house. Beautiful ceilings. Looks like the house has good bones and could be restored. On another note, I’m viewing after having a crazy busy few months and note you now bring a friend and no longer visit alone 👍🏽 keep up the good work, Paul. P.S. thanks for moving the lizard.

[@21stcenturyozman20]

Another good explore, Paul. :-) The mileage on the EJ (definitely- the grille is EJ, not EH) ute odometer is more likely 52,5xx miles; the final / sixth digit was for 10ths of a mile because there was no separate trip meter. It’s likely to have been a few times around, so *some* number of 100,000 miles, but unlikely 520,000. The Alfa-Laval @ 25:00 is a cream separator. The resultant cream would be churned into butter, and commonly the remaining skim milk would go the pig troughs (where it belonged; I hate milk, probably because I was born and raised on dairy farms).

That ute reminds me of the old TV series ‘The Outsiders’ from the 70’s. Old Charlie and Pete travelling outback Australia in their Holden ute and finding trouble everywhere they go. Dad and myself used to watch it together, great memories. Somebody managed to find the series on video and digitised and uploaded them to KZbin recently. Worth the watch if you’re a nostalgic old bugger like me. 😊

Hey Paul, the ute is definitely an EJ as it has the badge on the front of the bonnet which the EH doesn't. The ute carries the same tail lights through to the EH. The Alfa Lavel is a cream separator. It' missing half of its parts.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Awesome Ken! Cheers for the info and clarification. :-)

[@sandrahealey6385]

Happy Sunday morning house lovers! ❤ Thanks Paul 🌻🙂 Fun Fact. That's definitely an EJ but believe it or not, here in Tasmania they would tell you it's an EH! And yes, compliance plates state that the vehicle was produced in 1964. So they're technically right. So the taillights persisted in the state of Tasmania for an extra year 🙂 I much prefer the EH taillights myself.

[@fasteddie9201]

All EH panel vans and utes used the EJ body shells with the restyled EH front end and red motors. HD and HR utes and panel vans were the same, both used the HD body shells with HD tail lights and tailgates. One of those cost saving things I guess.

[@sandrahealey6385]

So it was only panel vans and utes? I've been confused by this for ages! Thanks for setting me straight!! I'd only had a sedan and station wagon, and growing up in Vic probably saw few of those versions. A nice lightbulb moment for me 🤣❤️💡💡💡

[@fasteddie9201]

@@sandrahealey6385 Not a problem. The EH has always been a favourite since I was a kid when my grandfather owned one. I restored/rebuilt an EH station wagon I scull dragged out of a paddock with grass growing inside, along the roof and through the floor. Still plenty around back then so I was able to basically rebuild and replace every bit of sheet metal and panels and six months later it was almost a new car. I still think about the day I sold it with regret and that was 30 odd years ago.

It's a lovely old EH ute, late 63-64. They used the EJ tail lights and rear panels on the EH ute and panel van, basically the same body shell with the restyled EH front fenders and grill. And of course the major difference, EH had the first of the red motors and EJ had the last of the greys. Believe it or not I brought an EH wagon back to life I dragged out of a paddock in worse condition.

The layout seems quite weird, you have the original area of four rooms, then in the newer add on, that front room didn’t connect to the rest of the house (only an outside door). Then the back of the add on had a hallway (why a hallway with only one room opening off it?) with only one door going to the add on back room which didn’t connect via an inside door to any of the other rooms.

I’m guessing the farm industry is a dying trade where are you live because I’ve noticed that you do a lot of old rule homes especially farm houses and I’m guessing that you live in Australia and if that’s the case, I seen a lot of other you tubers that videos from Australia that also go around to a lot of abandoned farms given I’m assuming the land is probably not very fertile for any kind of feed crop growing for cows so most feed has to be imported could be totally all wet

[@fasteddie9201]

The agricultural industry here is busy boom depending on the seasons. Cereal cropping can be a record year followed by a record loss but the good years are usually sufficient to carry over drought or flood years. The houses are usually the original farmhouse and are left abandoned after a more modern dwelling is built or the property is bought up by a neighbour or someone else for the land only. The houses are usually surplus and not needed or just too far gone to house workers.

Farms get bigger as machinery and processes need less and less manpower. So there might be several 640acre (1 square mile) farms amalgamated over time, some wheat and sheep farms end up being several thousand acres.
