Old farm house with sheds and caravan. Built about 1900 with additions a few years later

Hey house lovers and explorer's! This old gem I filmed last year and it was abandoned around 1990 judging by dates on things left behind. more old newspapers under and pressed tin ceilings suggest the front part of the home was built in the late 1800s with an extensive rear addition not to far into the 1900s again showing a hard working farm adapting when money was coming in. dates on old newspaper and doors suggest the old home got a revamp in the early 40 perhaps after the 1st generation owners passed away. old caravan and she'd out the back make this one a very enjoyable explore. Hope you all enjoy the tour. Cheers for watching 👍😁

Paul,Thank You for another great farm house.She was a beauty in her time.This household would have loved the nice breeze from the front of the house to the back.

Hey Paul. Thanks for another great video. We tend to forget that there have been years and years before we came along. It's so interesting to learn about the people before us who brought us to where we are today. Looking at the newspapers reminds me that there was wars going on when this house was built. And possibly young men from this farm who died in them. Being a mother I tend to relate to the mother's of that time. I even remember the copper to boil water for a bath. Let's not forget our past. Thank you for the journey back in time. 🇦🇺🐎🐕🍺

Seems like an awful lot of decay in thirty years, thirty years is not much at my perspective. Never worry about focusing on the floor or under it and newspapers there, I like to pause, zoom, observe and read! Thanks for the tour Paul! 👍🤠

[@melindar2887]

Excellent video! The exterior was awesome. The homes that have so much deterioration I find so interesting to look at. Each one unique in its own way. It shows the different layers and how it was originally built. The pressed tin was fantastic. You’ve shared so many of there gems, that we can imagine how it may have looked in days gone by. Thank you so much!

[@denisewatson5295]

What a great old house 🏚. I love the pressed tin ceiling. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

[@gaylewilliamson9183]

Always enjoy your videos thank you.I love looking at the newspapers especially the sales ads.The prices compared to today were so cheap in ut if you lived back then you know money was very hard to come by.,especially a job paying 50cents an hour.I remember my Dad paying 30dollars a month house rent,he worked very hard for us to eat and have a roof over our heads.Memories❤️👍🇺🇸

[@sherylangel8217]

That paper you found dated 23 January 1942, my mum would have been 13 days old when that paper was printed. Thanks for finding one almost as old as my mum. Had missed watching these great videos of these old homes, while my tablet was being repaired.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Sheryl 😊 yes puts things in perspective when I find old things. Lives already lived and gone in these places......👍😊.

[@SimonFrench-hb9wc]

There's also a Kodak print ad showing men in uniform. I have some of my Dad's WW2 photos in Kodak envelopes with the same graphic.

[@minimad8432]

Another old place in rough shape, i also could spend hours ratting through the old newspapers and yeah searching under floorboards for old stuff like tobacco tins. Brilliant... thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)

[@ludercoarms]

That painted pressed tin looks beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@theresafitzgerald15]

I would be spending time under the floorboards too! Plenty of bits of history to find.

[@johnkirkilis34]

Awesome video Paul. Keep more videos coming for us viewers ❤.

[@jamesrebbechi5247]

Paul, it’s hard to look at some of these absolute gems in their decay considering what each represented and provided to the generations who built, lived, toiled and finally handed on. Many of these are actually retrievable in the right set of hands, regardless of apparent present condition or location. Keep up the great work. Central Vic

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi James 🙂 yes the lives already lived in these homes and the work done on farms along the way. I agree many of these are able to be saved but i guess it takes people to be aware they are there and then be interested and able. Cheers for watching 🙂👍

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

that ceiling in the hallway is gorgeous

[@richardwolski5899]

Love these,old farm gems......top vid....🎉

[@patrickb5783]

It's amazing finding a newspaper that old,in the floorboards, how many people have passed through that house.

[@juliakonrad3665]

Love the vibrant colours / patterns on the pressed tin ceiling can u imagine how stunning would have been back in the day ! Fascinating remnants of past news too under the floorboards how exciting !

[@adelinaponzio9370]

Hi Paul, great video, what an eerie & ghostly intro, love it.

[@kenem1946]

Thanks, Paul ... as always a great video. The field stone walls which were built way back then must have taken some time to complete and render. Like others who watch your offerings, I'd like to see this house in its prime.

[@raindog428]

Hi Paul.🖐. that's some creepy music at the beginning give me the heebijeebis n that wind sounds like a ghost freight train..it's cool.ta xx

[@susancrawley1985]

Love the old laundry! And that trailer too. By the way, love your accent and getting a look at yester year down under.

[@sandrahealey6385]

Well, I'm awake! I get some chill sleepy time exploring thrills 👋 Thank you for another great share ❤️

[@silverbullet2286]

Nice one. Love the details like the turned veranda posts. Would love to go through the newspapers too. I wonder who lived and loved there… Thanks Paul, for another classic beauty

[@norsehall309]

G'day, just a lick of paint and she'll be right mate, as they would say in the old days if you had the idea of buying the property from the agent, or now a Reno's dream, thanks for the video, love them all, cheers mate Neil, keep safe.

[@wernersadventures8330]

Another cool one mate loved the pressed tin roof that is so majestic for its age and in very prestige condition and the old 1950s caravan decaying in the elements. Cheers for the tour mate

[@meganpaull6140]

🌟Hi Paul, wow what a magnificent old gem love it, love all those old newspapers they make fascinating reading and and all the memories. Wonder what the history behind the home is? hmmm oh well I will just have to imagine it. Thank you for the tour. 😊❤🌟x

[@allenthibault9523]

Cool our house is 40's here in Canada , found news from 1942 when replacing some windows. Not nearly as fancy as Australian homes back then , believe me . stormy... In Prince George British Columbia .✌❤🤗

[@carrieashley6465]

Asome old farm equipment I am glad out to the barn and look to see what in there besides ole house ty for the share again as all ways it was great to do the looking

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

A little treasure trove of history in this one. Another fabulous explore Paul 💯

[@loubowen6649]

Another great find

[@aaax9410]

Thanks Paul , wicked find great video, my Mum still lives in SA (I'm in QLD but grew up there ) she was just telling me how this Febuary has had nearly zero rain , how is it looking so lush 👍

[@ACDZ123]

Because the rest of summer was a fizzer and rained more than usual ...remember the climate alarmists at the ABC and SBS, BOM told us we're in for el nino and all the fear porn ...and it never happened.looks like we can't trust their science 😅

[@jamesrebbechi5247]

@@ACDZ123 Yes agreed, its got very old very quickly all this state of paranoia stuff these wacko’s keep pushing on us. This is not the great southern land anymore and never will be again. Greed and self interest has become the Australian Way.

[@jerroldmcley4347]

Love those pressed tin ceilings

[@missdemeanor40]

had to use your detective skills there Mr Indigo, nice explore, again such a shame our modern times heritage is left to decay.

[@anitapresnell6403]

Absolutely fantastic explore! I really appreciate the time you take to do these videos. Thanks so much. I been looking forward to your mid week upload all day and really enjoyed seeing this lovely old home.

[@paulademarco1585]

Postage stamp worthy and for artists.❤

[@romaynecarlin1249]

hiya paul! so green and not overgrown. love the tin ceiling. large rooms. you find gems!

[@beachbum433]

Another gem, mate! Spotted that the newspaper advertised a fight between Jack Johnson & Jack McNamee. Jack Johnson died in 1946, so the paper is very, very old...

[@user-hd8pc4fm8l]

Hi paul, great episode, l would love to have lived there. That caravan you showed is not a jayco 😂😂😂. Cheers deb

[@pamelatripp8865]

That was a good explore Paul loved it ❤❤

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Pamela 😁👍

[@irenewatts2874]

Hi Paul These homes you visit always seem to have large cracks on the walls. Looks like a nice house to raise a family and I’m sure they did. They may have had a cat too! LOL!🐈🐈‍⬛ Nice work Paul. You always give us your best and take the time to explain things. Thank you for sharing this once nice home. Stay safe and well and take care of those 3 beautiful cats.👍🆒🐈🐈‍⬛🐈❤. Cheers!🎉

[@carlashepherd9362]

Another wonderful video mate! Cheer’s Paul! ❤️😘🤘👍

[@21stcenturyozman20]

Paul: As you were approaching the outdoor dunny, there appeared to be a septic tank just to the right of that outhouse.

[@mavahuth5044]

I'm glad you popped up. I couldn't sleep, this morning. So this is a good way to start the day. I'm sure you are good at whatever your job is. Have a good rest of your week.😊

[@michellegridley3563]

Beautiful old home!

[@rogertemple7193]

Great to see you on now because I'm ready to see some more old abandoned houses and this is a nice old farmhouse in the rural countryside it is very beautiful scenery there with heavy winds outside and I also like seeing the old newspapers with the dates finding how old they are another great video and have a wonderful week and thank you.🇦🇺🐨🦘🦘🐨🇦🇺

[@jerroldmcley4347]

Very cool 😎 I bet that place was gorgeous in its day awsome explore again

Three for the price of one. House, shed and travel trailer! I can't figure out where they washed their dishes if there wasn't running water in the kitchen? I would have loved to see that travel trailer when it was in good condition. Thanks for another great video! I always enjoy watching...

[@customscreenprinting]

Urbex Indigo thanks my friend the farm house looks really old but i never lived on a farm but the home really looks really run down and i am from the U.S.A and i always will show your channel support and god bless and thanks.

[@PatriciaOmeara-sn7nb]

Thanks for your video was great ❤

[@Bluerose888]

17:48 If that was the kitchen it would be very small with everything in there. Maybe it was a pantry. What you called the dinning room maybe that was the kitchen and dinning room.

[@marthamitchell9452]

Another great find. I hope the fires haven’t been bothering you although I know you are in SA and they are in VIC, I know you travel over that way. Some of us do keep up on the fires down there and as early as it is here there have been some nasty big fires in Texas and Wyoming. Not even spring yet in some of our areas. Texas is burning and we’re still getting snow at my house.

Pins? rods & bracing are better wording but I'm not a builder. Don't kid yourself snakes are out. Home has been stripped out over the years. Not sure about 1990 shift out as not many power outlets but could have been frugal older couple existing in the 50s.

Lol yes braces better words. Cheers for watching 👍😁

Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) 6:36 pour la robe, la coupe de cheveux et les chaussures j’hésite entre deux décennies fin année 30 et début 40 (ce style de robe est très présent dans les films qui parlent de la seconde guerre mondiale en France). Cela n'indique pas de quand date les travaux fait pour éviter l'écroulement de la maison. Les crochets sont une jonction qui permet de rêgler la tension quand ils sont mis (pas assez ils ne servent à rien, trop cela détruit). Vous venez de quitter l'arrière cuisine (ce que vous appelez cuisine d'été), il y a moins de traces de suie que dans l'autre. Si c'est comme en France, ils utilisaient des paillettes de savon et de la cendre pour laver le linge, une lessive ancienne et un peu de bleu de méthylène pour rendre le linge blanc plus éclatant.

[@beachbum433]

Sorry, mate! Shoulda kept watching...1942 date on the paper...
