Late 1800`s farm house/sheds/old machines and some cool old retro items/beautiful stonework

Please check out Exlpore 71 Australia and sub- / @explore71australia42
Todays video is of a beautiful old late 1800`s symmetrical stone and iron farm villa. The stone is nothing like I have seen used as it resembles quartz. Abandoned it the 70`s it seems with some cool old items left behind including a classic old fridge and stove in the vintage lean to kitchen out the back. Sheds with old farm machines sitting around as well. This place would have been awesome to see when a working farm back in the day. Hope you enjoy, cheers for watching. Also check out these explorers below if you have not already :-)

This one had a lovely vibe to it. Happy. The flooring was beautiful.

[@ron8802]

The Roto-Baler was made by Allis Chalmers...and produced round hay or straw bales....it was towed behind a tractor and powered by its pto....you can see the long tube going from the front to the back of the unit. It had tires and rims but were apparently removed from this unit. This model is around 1950.... It could produce bales in different sizes but needed to be stopped as it tied and dropped the bale.

[@JudithGolding]

The exterior stones are beautiful. Imagine that yellow jug with the lid to keep the flies out, full of fresh cream on the kitchen table. Oh, that refrigerator medallion had a big skinny "E" before "CONOMICE'. It was hidden behind a smudge or paint. A play on "economize" and "ice"?

[@mikehardin1629]

Everything was hand crafted by someone, alone, working day and nights to make a home for his family and a farm to make a living. No water, no electricity, no nothing but hard work!

[@Gary-gr3ff]

The big white pigeon is a white king probably escaped from a farm nice old house had character

[@wernersadventures8330]

Another old gem mate I’m amazed to see this is one old beauty that hasn’t got those darn pigeon’s through it. But give them time and they will find a way in. The wood oven was cool you know your ovens mate. Liked the old jug and the old fridge which would of been run on Kerosene. Nice old dunny to and once again cheers for the shoutouts mate.

I am also enjoying watching the rural explorers. That first machine was an Allis Chalmers small round baler, and the second was a grain drill for planting. I should give you more comments just for the algorithm ❤ Good work Paul, thanks for bringing us along. This was a neat old place. I can't wait for the next one.

Hi Paul 🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧 that little toddlers blouse is actually to keep your laundry pegs in, it’s a novelty peg bag & you hang it on the line when you put out your washing. I’m in England but I had one in the late 80’s early 90’s, they were popular at one time & most people I knew had one 🥰👕👗

Farm house's are great I'd like to restore this one

[@vickisawyer7405]

First thing I noticed is no trees...and such a square bldg. One thing I never got around to asking, with all of the explores that I've watched, is why do people in the "olden days" have such high ceilings? But I love the simplicity here. I would love to be a squatter in this beautiful old house. One more question - Aren't pigeons and doves the same things, different colors? 🐦😺. Thanks again for the video, from Mukilteo, WA, and I will check out the other explore channels. My job is waiting for other people and if they don't show up...KZbin here I come!😺

An old mate of mine was a oilfield geological consultant in Australia on a year contract, I can still recall how he went on about how interesting it was there. Judging from the stone walls ,I'd say he was right. Gold often occurs in Quartz. Can picture how it must have been 100 years ago. Cheers

[@annehardy4329]

Hello Paul. What another treasures. A least filming in winter you don't have to watch out for snakes. The fridge would they have to put the large ice blocks in the top because it looked to large for a freezer? That piece of machinery you said was a plow, well there were cups across which I thought was the back, could it also been used as planting machine? Thanks again for sharing with us.

[@dianalee4312]

Loved this one, had such a different feel to it than the one you showed us last week. It amazes me how remote these farm homes are, nothing for miles.

Thanks, Paul. With the internal doors having been removed I think the house was used for storage after its use as a home. Would love to see it in its prime!

[@murrayguitarpickups9545]

Hey Paul that abandoned house in mainstreet Gawler I told you about is being restored and extended, so bad news for exploring but great that an old gem has been saved.

[@andrewhallett-patterson9778]

Surprising how well the internals are considering the age. But deterioration of the externals to the elements will, unfortunately, eventually claim this lonely building. Just an idea.....All stobie poles have a code attached, either as a plate or stenciled, that indicate the month and year of manufacture, and occasionally installation. ( The stobie pole in your images has stenciled). This can be used as an indicator of when power was originally connected. Another great explore Paul.👍👍

I am so glad you find these old places to document. Glad that they are still standing. My family home was built in 63 and my bedroom was painted pastel pink and pastel green. The bathroom tiles were black and pink. I see those colours many times over in your explores. The Signs magazine is Seventh Day Adventist and it seems to still be in publication. Nice of you to give a shout out to Explore 71 Australia. I am already subbed there as he explores the region where I live. Love his style :D

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

the house is bigger inside looks small outside I remember those old kettles with the braided cord if you was really bad the cord doubled you got smacked with we grew up tuff back then

[@rgc1961]

Watching from Toronto, Canada, I keep thinking that those tall ceilings would make for great heat loss over here - which is exactly why they're so high in Australia. It's fascinating to see the architecture, and rather sad to think of the super-human effort that went into building that beautiful home.

I googled to see what a Roto baler is it's a highly automated baler the ps1400 rotating compaction head which rolls and crushes dry waste products inside a plastic bale bag on a pallet. That's if it's the same model.

Bonjour d’Occitanie (France) Merci pour la visite, les plafonds en lambris des deux chambres sont encore en bon état. Je comprends le choix de couleur pour le plafond de la salle au moteurs plus lumineuse qu’un simple blanc. La pièce verte était certainement une cuisine à l’origine. J’ai compris comment ils rafraîchissaient la maison et le vent devait faciliter. Les murs de pierres devait aussi aider en été pour ralentir la chaleur d’entrer. La salle de bain juste à côté de la cuisine, devait profiter de la chaleur en hiver, les salles de bain sont arrivées dans les fermes assez tard chez moi, j’en avait une chez moi, mais chez ma grand-mère paternelle c’était une grande bassine devant le feu de la cheminé. Chez mes grand parent maternel ils en avait installé une dans le chai (lieu ou est entreposé les barriques de vin). Mais la chambre principale avait son cabinet de toilette (une bassine avec un broc et un miroir). Ce petit confort apparaissait dans les fermes mais c’était lié aux finances des paysans. Le linoléum imitation d’un carrelage carreaux ciment une petite merveille. La cuisinière à bois de la cuisine est elle aussi jolie, mais c’est un modèle que je n’ai jamais vue en France (dans ma région). La ferme devait avoir des animaux bœufs, ou chevaux mais pas un élevage, ils devaient surtout faire de la culture l’engin à 23:03 me fait penser à un semoir. Un petit bijoux voilà ce qu’est cette maison.

Hi Paul. Been enjoying the farm houses. I love ones like this that are still quite intact for the most part and you can still see decor and colour on the walls. I love when they have old stuff especially stuff with dates. I find all that very interesting. Can I ask a strange question that’s unrelated to the video or Urbex? 😂 Is it cold in Australia or your part of Australia in Winter? I am in the U.K. it’s obviously summer, but it is wet and cold! June was great but July has been terrible! So I just wondered what your winters are like 😂 Every week I watch your videos and I think “I wonder what the weather is like in Australia” 😂 Obviously I’m very interested in your videos as well.

@@stephaniemcquillan1930 I'm from Adelaide, and a 13C max here is considered 'freezing' for a Winter's day! Usually at this time of year we would have max 15 to 18C approx.

@@mtilford What amazes me is that the snakes seem to go to ground and nobody worries about them in your very mild winter. The adder, which is the only venomous snake found in some parts of the UK is up and about now that it has 'warmed' up here. It would be understandable in the parts of Australia that get snow (a distant relative lived in such a place and said that everyone thinks Oz doesn't get snow), but your snakes must be accustomed to the heat and don't like temperatures of 15 to 18c. Wondering if their food source (rats etc) also go to ground during your winter?
