[@customscreenprinting]

Urbex Indigo thanks for sharing this video with me my friend about Secluded farm house with sheds and machines abandoned in the 1960`s it was a very interesting video about the farm houses and how they are made thaey are not made the way our homes are made in the us our homes are made with basements but i do enjoy how you explore these home my friend. i am from the U.S.A and i always will show your youtube channel support i shared you out and gave you a thumbs up and God Bless.

[@lindacarneal2729]

thank you.

[@AnnasBurningCuriosity]

This is my kind of explore

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi ABC :-) Yes very secluded out there for this one.

[@orionwarren4244]

That's an old hit & miss engine 18:01. Used on farms to supply power to pump water, generate electricity or run processing equipment.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers mate! :-) Love how they ran these old farms and learning these things :-)

[@everythingold7968]

the engine seen at 17:25 is a Blackstone oil engine, it hopefully has a brass plaque on the other side of it saying The Blackstone Oil Engine, a serial number and its horsepower. Absolutely brilliant engine restored and running. Its an amazing find. thanks for sharing it.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers for that great info everythingold7968 :-) You know your stuff, just checked out your channel too! :-) I have found a fair few old things I am not sure what they are, stay tunes and they will be uploaded! Cheers :-)

[@Romeo-kp8tc]

​@@urbexindigo5164,Yes a great find , pity the owner probably not realising it's value, Sadly left to rot, Ahhh

[@JohnShinn1960]

I know who not to call if I need an electrician. 😉👍 Thanks for the tour Paul! 🤠👍 🇺🇸

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

I often notice the old fridges in your videos and it takes me back to the 60s and 70s public information adverts in the UK about removing fridge doors, because of a spate of child deaths. The old type of fridges with the metal handles could not be opened from the inside and children playing hide and seek in them that they came across on waste ground would be trapped. The message was to remove the door if the fridge was no longer working. It prompted me to tell about this seeing that the door of the fridge in this house had been removed.

[@shez5964]

I don't recall any information adverts but during the same era (60s- 70s) Australia bought in the same rule because of the same sort of tragedies happening here. It's still a requirement rule today although I don;t know if modern fridges open easily from the inside.

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

@@shez5964 Interesting! I did wonder when writing, about deaths happening elsewhere and if there were rules in place. I think the handle design was a latch type mechanism and with only a handle on the outside as a lever, it was impossible to open from inside. I don't think it is a rule here now, because I imagine even the retro style copies have a handle just for show and to pull, with the usual concertina type fridge door seal doing the job, which would be easy to push open from the inside.

[@vickisawyer7405]

I don't know if it's a law, but we do the same in the states, at least in Washington.

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

@@vickisawyer7405 I imagine this must have been happening all over the western world.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi LWF :-) Yes even as a kid I vividly remember my Dad telling me they had to remove them as a lot of country people used them as mail/parcel boxes at the end of the long farm drive way. Kids would get locked in them as you said! :-( Cheers for watching again

[@kx2437]

I hate seeing these old places rot away, its sad. I appreciate your videos and look forward to them. Thanks Paul! Kara from Tucson AZ USA ❤

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Kara :-) Thanks for watching and the support! :-)

[@jodiesinclair3319]

So sad seeing such a beautiful old house left to rot. You think they would preserve such a beauty.. Thankyou for this gorgeous old girl..x

[@DrewsAdventuresGo]

Fantastic explore Paul 💯😍

[@meganpaull6140]

Wow another beautiful old gem just sitting majestically in the fields of peaceful serenity. Love love love it. Thank you so much again:-) ❤😊🌟x

[@ghostrider9978]

Morning

[@JohnShinn1960]

Good evening! 🤠👍 🇺🇸

[@dianeallen9232]

As usual Paul, your video is most enjoyable and well explored. I love these old farmhouses, but I will say that its sad to see it decaying away.

[@TomWells-oi6rc]

Had my mate show me this place last year and was amazed with it. Ill probably be adding this address to my public destination list for the FB group page im apart of

[@raindog428]

That intro from a distance would be a stunning photo..Always look forward to yr vids..ever thought about putting some stills into poster size,or similar size?..I'd buy some,I'd love a few of those on my wall ❤thanx again paul

[@kathysmith4261]

Love the hardware on the doors

[@JudithGolding]

Your opening horizon shot was breathtaking. There is something about a perfectly square house that looks homey and inviting. This poor home is best appreciated from outside.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Judith :-)

[@annebynon]

Looks very green. So many field stone cottages, houses and farms abandoned. If the walls could talk there would be amazing stories.

[@cynthiaprice1261]

Hi Paul. Loved everything about this place, except the bird poo. 😂 The area is beautiful. Always, get a kick out of the birds in the background, never heard anything like that here in AZ. Thank you and take care. ❤

[@crystalcat1317]

Yes, the prominent bird calls in the middle and end of the video are "pee wees" or the magpie lark. They are medium sized black and white birds. They love to eat crickets 😊

[@wernersadventures8330]

hey Paul what a cool old gem again and those darn pigeons have claimed it as theres again. Loved the Gifford wood oven yer it would probably work again when the lid is attached. yes I dont think there is much time for the roof to fall in with all that pigeon crap up there. And that old machine in the shed I think it might be a steam powered pump with those big wheels which would have a belt attached to a pump to probably get the water out of the boar. Another cool find mate cheers.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Werner! :-) I had visions of having to walk all the way back covered in poo if that ceiling collapsed! lol :-) Yeah I think others have said the same about the engine in the shed. Cheers Werner :-)

[@patriciasamalens9840]

Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) Je me suis demandée s'il n'y avait pas eut un poulailler dans la maison après qu'elle ait été abandonné comme habitation mais il manque des perchoirs et des nids pour la ponte. Mais je ne rejette pas l'idée. Quand mon frère et sa femme ont restauré la ferme où ils vivent l'ancienne cuisine servait de poulailler. L'ancienne salle à manger servait à stocker une partie de l'alimentation des volailles. Elles étaient en liberté pendant la journée. Merci pour cette visite.

[@charlesschulz8416]

The implement shed has a haybaler and combine seeder the oil engine a nice find

[@crystalcat1317]

What an historic beauty! All I can think of it though is that it is pigeon poo central. I don't know how you walk on that stuff lol. That distant shot from behind the house with the two gum trees either side would make a nice composition for an oil painting I reckon, Thanks, Paul for these great finds and documenting them,

[@jerroldmcley4347]

Another awesome 😎💯 explore love those old farm houses 🏘️🏡 you find waiving a hand from new Mexico usa

[@MrGaryRoberton]

The old engine looked like a pump engine used for water, My uncle once showed me an old Hit N" miss one cylinder that was used yonks ago to run a generator for electric power plants, not very efficient, but it was about 100 years old at the time. A tad smaller than that one. Cheers

[@pattigolden1]

Cool old house, I always wonder what made them just walk away.

[@sheilacarter4741]

I love all your videos

[@urbexindigo5164]

Thanks Sheila! Appreciate it :-)

[@AussieUrbanExploring]

Another great find & explore thanks for sharing paul

[@explore71australia42]

Another nice find . Couldn’t see any power poles . Cheers mate 👍😎🇦🇺

[@robertmurray8763]

HI PAUL, the machinery in the shed is a hay baler and a seed drill for planting wheat or other grain. There are probably more wheat for South Australia. After WW2, a lot of houses painted different shades of green.War surplus? P.S. Paul, the hay escalator, brings back bad memories of carting in hay for me, and perhaps for you?

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Robert! :-) Cheers for watching again. Yes could be right about the green paint. And definitely right about the hay carting! lol. Initiated by my father to learn hard work with men before leaving school. It was but it was hard but I remember it fondly also :-) Cheers mate

[@robertmurray8763]

@urbexindigo5164 I started hay carting at about ten years old because I could reverse and change gears on the truck and the tractor as a driver. Then, I was on the truck tray or trailer stacking hay. and every year after that until I moved away from home. It was hard work.🎉

[@uwusmolbean]

Seems like a nice place to be ❤

[@minimad8432]

Cool. Another...We'll this is a "Sh**house" with all that floor covering nastiness. When birds take over.. But it still has some cook stuff in it. Nice... Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM. :)

[@ianhogarth4214]

The old engine with the large flywheels is an Austral( made in Ballarat) or similar Kerosene engine. They would have used it with a generator to power the house.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers Ian :-) I love learning what these old things are. Puts it all in to perspective of how they ran these old farms. Cheers mate :-)

[@ludercoarms]

1. I really hope that somebody saves that door hardware and those ornate coat hooks. 2. That is a truly amazing amount of bird poo. 3. That is a large single cylinder hit and miss engine. That would have been used with the large flat belt run out the door to run different machines, depending on what the farmer was doing. They ran off of gasoline, kerosene, or diesel. They could run things like shellers, saw mills, what ever the farmer needed. One large engine, multiple belt driven machines. Very common from the turn of the century (1900) through even the 1950's and 60's on small farms here in the USA and I am sure there in Australia as well. I own one about half the size of that one, and it still runs!! Keep up the great work!!

[@denisewatson5295]

What a great old farm house 🏠 👌. It's a shame that it is abandoned and falling apart. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@williammullikin2076]

great country house and a beautiful landscape. Just wondered, do you take any precautions when in houses with so much bird poop everywhere? Especially when everything you touch has it on it?

[@rogertemple7193]

I thought that the US had a lot of old abandoned houses but Australia has just as many. this one looks like it is way out in the middle of nowhere in a former farming community at one time doesn't look like anyone has been there in many years, sad to see them abandoned and left to end up like this but it happens i guess though have a great week and until your next new video Thank You.🤠👍 🇦🇺

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Roger, yep certainly lots about here if your willing to look. It is such an interesting and enjoyable hobby! Cheers for the support :-)

[@rjltrevisan]

I love these 50s, 60s, Fallout 4 vibes of these videos

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers rjltrevisan :-) I do like to keep it like an unfolding adventure especially with these secluded rural ones! Cheers for watching :-)

[@vickisawyer7405]

This was once a beautiful little home., many lives lived inside. Thank you for the video and your intro shot was stunning!!

[@robertristinge4385]

Insane bird droppings.

[@andrewkiwi1]

That place is going to take a lot of vacuuming and that's not including what's up in the ceiling waiting for you. Bird poo central. No ones lived there for a long long time. Did it ever have electricity. It must have as it had a fridge. That was an engine in the shed and you were standing on the belt. I couldn't see a carb so I'm guessing its diesel. One of the rockers (on the top) are missing and the brass oiler above the cylinder.

[@MsMamabear67]

Thanks again Paul for another great explore it6 sad to see these old homes just left to rot

[@robertandsharon9428]

these videos make one consider the impact of changing governemt policy on rural communities and the erosion of family farms-think of the dairy industry, the wool industry in the early 80'sand others. Agro capitalism at it most aggressive.

[@peterm1826]

Ever noticed. That in most situations. People are happy. Then Government gets involved in they’re community and businesses and it turns into shit.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Very true Peter! :-)

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep, still happening to this day! Cheers for watching :-)

[@chrismc1975]

So damn sad

Hi everythingold7968 , thanks for watching! :-)

[@chrismc1975]

You can get what’s called kitten ears, and it blocks out the wind sound on your recording.

[@kenem1946]

G'day Paul ... it appears my comment wasn't allowed and I assure you, it wasn't rude, just funny (I thought). The 1st time it's happened. 😄

[@67daffy]

How do you find these i wonder…

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

Be a great house to renovate, if it’s abandoned like that how does one purchase or look to purchase it ?

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

dont think this house will be standing for much longer

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

Also I wonder how a night time paranormal investigation would go, and would love to know the story of those that resided there

[@michaelboden3521]

Looks very South Australian ??

[@mdelannoy3495]

👍👍👍👍😺😺😺😺👋👋👋👋

[@peterm1826]

Wonder what would happen. If someone moved in to that old house. And fixed it up got got it rewired and all their own expense.

[@norsehall309]

G'day mate, love watching your videos but sometimes l think one day you'll meet a ghost 👻👻👻, find a dead body or a farmer with a shotgun, hope not, cheers mate keep safe, Neil 🤠.
