The decay and destruction of these old Aussie homes reminds me what's happening to Aussie culture ! Very sad. Maybe I'm too old.

A really nice mid-week surprise, thanks Paul. That faux-marble panelling is really interesting, I’ve seen similar panels in green, mainly in renovated bathrooms. I just looked it up, and found the following advertisement from the West Australian newspaper, July 30, 1932; “A marble finished wall panel, known as Tilux, is being used extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand in the construction of dwelling houses and also for modernising old-fashioned bathrooms and kitchens. It is waterproof and fire retardant, and, as it is available in various colours and finishes, can be adapted to harmonise with any colour scheme. Tilux can be easily applied to any wall base, being just as adaptable to timber studs as to brick, stone or concrete. It is manufactured by James Hardie and Co, Ltd, of Riverdale.” I’m reading a lot of 1930s newspaper articles about popular ways to renovate “old-fashioned” homes, and I’m seeing a lot of what you’ve seen and identified in videos. Thanks very much, you’re giving us a valuable resource to study and enjoy. ***EDIT*** Hahaha, I was too excited about commenting that I did so before your bit at the end, so this stuff isn’t Tilux then. But, those swirly green and pink panels seen in some of your videos just may be!
@urbexindigo516411 ай бұрын
Hi Matt :-) Great research on the Tilx, never knew that name for it. Always find or learn at least one or two knew intriguing things about the old days when I film these old places. Glad you are really paying attention to all the details and the newspapers too which I also enjoy. Cheers for watching, many more to come :-)

@LestWeForget-LestWeForget11 ай бұрын
The first thing that struck me as you were walking towards the front was that the roof was intact and even though the back was not as perfect, it was still good. Probably explains why the floors aren't covered in bird droppings, although suspect that where there were droppings and a nest on one wall, is that the birds were getting in through the chimneys. Did you hear me say 'yes' when you asked if it was a hall runner? 😂 Also, in the room to the left as you face the front door, I noticed that there was brown hessian fabric wallpaper which was a thing in the 1970s (I had some in one room with a brick patterned vinyl type paper on the feature wall, so the hallway paper is probably also from the 70s. Loved that the washtub was still intact and standing. I hope someone turns this back into a home. You are spoiling us with these bonus videos, so many thanks for the extras! 😊😊

Hi Paul - a good solid restoration potential! Did anyone notice the oblong, three holed object behind the kitchen door @6:36? It reminded me of the tea towel holders available in Scotland in the 1950's - push the tea towel through the pronged plastic of the hole and it would hang there forever.

I once lived and worked on a large rural property that had multiple cottages that were once occupied by farm hands. I lived for a while in one that had been derelict for some time but did some repairs to make it livable. I think you'd find many abandoned houses in rural areas were once used as accommodation for a once more populated rural workforce

Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) La maison est intéressante, un vrai petit labyrinthe. La table en formica (celle avec le plateau rouge) je me demandais si les pieds étaient d'origine ou bien si elle avait subit une customisation elle jolie en tout les cas. Le rideau blanc et noir d'une des pièces est moderne. Il y a l'autre aussi qui est intéressant. Le couloir avec les murs en faux marbre est bien aussi, dommage que l'on ne voit pas bien la partie blanche, cela ressemble à du verre imprimé (motif en relief non gravé, j'ai vue un reportage sur les métiers autour des vitraux donc il est possible que cela ne porte pas le même nom en Australie) Pour l'espace ou est tombé le résineux, c'est du grillage à brebis pas adapté pour la volaille (le maillage est plus petit) et pour des chiens la clôture est basse, sauf pour des petits chiens). Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas eut de conserve ou de boite de biscuit pour pouvoir dater plus précisément quand la maison avait été habité pour la dernière fois. Vous connaissez les styles architecturaux, les styles de meuble, il ne vous manque que le textile (cela peut donner une estimation de temporelle).

Even if the landholders are agreeable with offering ground leases the insurmountable universal obstacle to new occupation and renovation is isolation and cost. Generally these places are let go due to the wholesale consolidation of the industry from single family farm holdings into large scale family or corporate owned enterprises which has run rampart in Oz since the 1960’s. Diminishing local population to backfill - too far out to live and work for younger families. The tyranny of distance at work.
