Huge old farm house with vintage TV`s/Vehicles/machines

Loved the kangaroo footage! And of course the other content too! Thanks for taking the time to document and explore.

The car is an Aussie built Ford Zephyr Ute. Pretty rare. They were built in Geelong up until 1962 when Ford started to produce the Falcon.

[@Inverted.surfer]

Nice little bit of ford / geelong history, rolling into the Falcon era.

[@paul7TM]

Cheers. It actually looks restorable. There are people here in the UK who would love to bring that Zephyr back to life. But I hope it stays undisturbed with the house.

I love this old farm house 🏠. I especially liked seeing the kangaroo .

[@MsSlmitchell]

Oh my gosh, this video brought back so many memories!! I noted down things while watching and it really shows my age!! We lived in country Victoria on a farm and we had similar beige blinds, similar fireplace in our lounge which was later converted to what was shown in the video. We had a gravity fed water tank in our yard. We also had a similar motorbike but ours was blue....plus the best memory was the Zephyr ute. My dad (1919-2011) had one of those as his first ever vehicle and I can still remember it being driven around the farm. We also had an old station wagon one for spare parts. Oh, how I smiled when I saw that old ute in the video. Great video, thank you!! 😊

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi MsSlitchell :-) Glad this old place brough back memories for you. :-) There are many things these old places do and they remind us of how it was all done and how we have become reliant on certain things. Glad you enjoyed :-)

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi bas :-) Yes I have come across many of these big underground water tanks recently and seemed to be an easier replacement instead of well digging. Reliant on the down pipes run off though. :-)

[@ron8802]

That first piece of equipment is a square bale loader...probably Massy Harris...1962?....the mechanism was driven off the two wheels as it was towed behind a flat bed truck or trailer....those springs on the large wheel section spun and picked up the bale...and onto that flat platform on top....the farm hand picked it up and stacked them...🤠

[@williebeamish5879]

The row of spoked wheels was a hay rake pulled by a tractor for forming fluffed up rows of cut hay to bale.

[@JohnShinn1960]

@@williebeamish5879 Wrong machine, the machine I belive @ron8802 speaks of is at 26:33, a Massey Ferguson 512 square bale loader.

Urbex Indigo thanks for sharing with me this video my friend i really enjoyed it it was a big side farm and i am From The U.S.A and i will always show support to your channel and God Bless.

[@marthamitchell9452]

Those last farm implements, the one with all the spokes is a hay rake for making windrows for baling. The other is for making small square bales. Lots of farms in the US have gone to large square bales or round bales. They weigh up to 1500 pounds. Small squares are usually just for horses so people can carry them. Weight on those ranges from 45-75 lbs usually. Personally I use round bales for my horses and set them up under cover for them to eat whenever they want during winter. Summer is pasture. The round bales are actually wound to fit on a rod that goes through the bale between the flat sides and allows you to unroll the bale to feed cattle.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Watch out for those round bales. One rolled down a hill, bounced over a hedge & landed on a friends van killing him.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yes very similar progression in hay bales here in Australia too Martha. I used to have to go out and cart the small square ones on the back of the truck about this time of year in my mid teens with Dad and a few other blokes who helped local farmers but they paid decent money although hard work :-)

[@marthamitchell9452]

@@sarahstrong7174 wow. I’m thankful I have only worked with them on flat land. My tractor doesn’t have a spike to pick them up so we have to roll them with the tractor or push them over the ice. When it got really bad we just opened the gate and let the horses into the hay barn to eat.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thanks for the info John! And for watching again mate, cheers :-)

[@marklaidlay6842]

Ford Zephyr, built in Australia but based on a British design. The motor bike looks to be an old posty bike. The Massey Ferguson implement is a baler with a rake next to it for baling grass or straw.

[@jerroldmcley4347]

Very cool 😎👍 place nice find love the kangaroo sighting first one i seen on your videos

[@nanslife]

We had a TV like that in the 70s

[@ludercoarms]

So the Zephyr was built by Ford of Australia from late 50's to early 60's, and are pretty rare according to the only book I have about Australian Utes. The Massey Ferguson is a square hay baler, and the contraption next to it with the wire round discs is a hay rake. After you cut the hay for harvest, you use the hay rake to rake it into rows, so you can run the square baler down the rows and make square (rectangle) hay bales. I did that kind of work for pocket money in Junior High and High school. The old farms and homesteads are some of my favorite explores, thanks for sharing them. It is cool to see the similarities and differences in farming from there where you are and here in the Southern USA where I live.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Lime you mate I also as teen had to go out and cart hay for some money and learn how to do a hard days work. This time every year I would go out with Dad and his mate to local farms. We even had to stack it in a few old abandoned stone houses :-)

[@tinasteer2507]

Did you see all of the inside of the house? I got totally lost. I would hate if someone yelled fire. It was a real rabbit warren. 20:53 I think you may be in the original kitchen as it may have been separate from the house in case of fires. You were saying it has the same flooring as in the house. This Honda motor bike exhaust will burn the inside of your leg if you don’t sit on the seat? The machinery piece looks like a hay dryer that tosses the hay over in the field so it dries out. The car is a Zephyr and they were so reliable you couldn’t kill it with a big stick. Our mate had a light green one and we loved travelling in. I’m not sure if they came in any other colour as I only saw them in light green. This is a great find. Thanks.

[@kenem1946]

Thanks, Paul ... another ripper! The toilet set, Brent cistern, bowl and color are the same as in our mid 1950s family home. Ditto the bathroom pedestal sink. I haven't read other comments but the Ford Zephyr Six was an English built vehicle in sedan, s/wagon and ute versions. Pity the ravages of time making repairs to these historic homes unviable due to downturns in farming ... such a shame but unfortunately, a fact of life.

[@volvor730]

Not English built, Aussie built from CKD kits except the ute and wagon which where Aussie designed. From the grille that one was a'58 to '60 model. Like you say, very rare today.

I’m betting the little house was the original home especially because of the fire place set up and the well right next to it. The type of house usually indicates which state your in SA bricks and stones Vic is sticks. My old man had a black zephyr Ute they could near fly. He took my mum on a date drove too far so took it upto 108 mile an hour just to get her home on time....and apparently it wasn’t a once of so I was told...so he couldn’t lecture me being a lead foot either....A scooby doo watcher that means you was a kid in the 70s if I’m not mistaken.

A good find. The house doesn't look like nature has taken over it, so I think the occupants left around the 1990's. The old outhouse buildings could have started to fall apart whilst occupants in there. In most of your videos you've always seem to find an old TV and run into a spiders web. I find with some of the old stuff that it would have been still salvageable at some point but then you can't take everything with you and they probably didn't think it was too valuable at the time.
