1973 unidroit treaty endorsed by goff whitlam the Australia prime minister sent manufacturing overseas thats why farming was no longer feasible..that was the beginning of the end sadly in Australia
I found images of International Harvester trucks like that Jordan style, built starting in 1940s. It likely had a split windshield. They were known to be tough and cheap. What more would any farmer want? They would have been all over the area of my family's farming lands just south of Chicago. I imagine the mechanics were straightforward and not difficult to work on. I am developing a real affinity for Australian farms and the stories of the people who raised their families there.
Don’t think they are horse stables…too small, unless they had very small ponies. Maybe pig pens? This was a beautiful property in its day…lovely find 👍
Quite an interesting find. So many things to look at. International Harvester made farm equipment but they did make a Travelall from 1959 - 1975. It was a version of an SUV like the old Suburban. It had 2 or sometimes 3 rows of seats. Behind the second row of seats was a large area for hauling things inside. I think you could even fold down the second row seats to enlarge the hauling space. We had an old one in the early 70’s that was from the 60’s. I wonder if they had to abandon living in the house because it ran out of water? That was a good sized well hole but it didn’t seem like there was water in it. One of the worst things is having your well go dry. Sometimes they can’t find a place to drill a new well and then unless you want to haul in water that’s the end of that place.
What a fantastic explore , one of the best farm videos, could those things be chick incubators as it has the plugs etc on the side maybe for heat lamp bulbs ? thanks for the exciting videos , always enjoy watching.
Great video , the metal cabinet thing in the shed my guess is a chicken brooder / incubator and did you see the old white bee hive box you walked past in there too when you looked at the wardrobes and those concrete stalls I think were for pigs not so much horses.
There were a couple of bee boxes in the one shed so perhaps they’d had bees at one time. My aunt was a lead on one of the productions lines at Tonka Toys in Mound, Mn. before they moved it all to Mexico. She was employed there many years b/4 they closed down. One time she gave to me a list of all the toys they made, and they were made of metal not plastic, and I was able to buy my kids toys at a huge discount. My little boy loved his big yellow dump truck😊. All those kids toys, melancholy feeling. Also with all the junk around to bad it wasn’t dumped in the well hole so no animal or human would fall into it. Thank you for another great video👍🏻😊
I'm watching while i crochet. I'm taking a break to make a comment. that is a fabulous place i love it. i had to take things easy for the last 2 weeks, i went down with bronchitis that just wouldn't clear up!! Enjoy your week ahead!!
That is one awesome find! The homemade car looks like a Rat rod drag car. Super-charged 4 cylinder. The trucks were too cool. That place is a treasure trove! Great share mate. Cheers to your awesome explores!👍🏼🍻
It's great to go looking around rural Australia for long abandoned farmhouses and buildings that have been long vacant of anyone living in them and just left behind and sitting there decaying and falling down and who knows what you will find and I like watching your videos as I live in in a rural area of Oklahoma here in the U.S. and it is also very similar here in the rural areas of Oklahoma and other states of old houses and buildings just sitting empty and long since abandoned places as well Thank You and until your next video l have a great week. 🐨🦘🐨🦘🐨🦘
Really great find this one.. plenty of things to look at massive decay through time and weather. There's not much really to save here, unfortunately. And the vehicles I'd say too far gone..'Well' that hole in the ground was a bit crazy hate to fall down there. Thanks for sharing Cheers MM :)
Awesome explore Paul, the mid engined Morris truck was facinating, I guess the trunk was under the hood? First I've ever seen such a thing, maybe someone knows more. Also facinating was the homemade buggy because it's front wheel drive, another first. I'm trying to learn a little Aussie automotive by watching Mark Behr on you tube. 😉 Thanks for the tour and keep an eye out for unseen holes! 🤠👍 🇺🇸 PS, International Harvester is "International". (Same company)
Morning Paul. I think the 2 utes next to each other could be Vauxhalls. My Pop had a Vauxhall sedan when I was born in 1957 and they have that 'look'. Hoping someone may be able to verify. I concur wuth Deb Newton that the cement enclosures were pig pens. A very interesting find, thx 🤗
Being from N. America, I am unfamiliar with a lot of the AU models, but I H (Int. Harvester did a huge trade here in Farm trucks and equipment. Mostly stake bodies & grain haulers here but the Utes were a specialized and unique vehicle. I do remember Bryan Brown driving something similar in the t v production of " A Town Like Alice".That old wagon may have been pulled by Bullocks. Cheers
Excellent video Paul. I reckon one of the best ones I’ve watched. Loved the old house, but the old cars were so cool, they would have been great in their days. My husband and I think we might have driven a Holden like that in our younger days 😊, very interesting place, take care xxx
This was definitely a gem mate.😊I think the old Morris is behond repair thought but the other Utes could be a goer. And those cool old tube 📺 TVs were cool I think one was solid state and the others were valve driven. The Simpson oven was cool. So many treasures in that shed too awesome explore mate cheers.
@@urbexindigo5164 madder of fact I filmed this old gem about 7 months ago and there was an old Philips colour tv which wasnt there in your video. But it was built in 1982 and was one of the first colour sets to come to Australia, these models in time suffered flyback transformer issues were a ark would come out of the aquadack suction cap on the side of the picture tube and spark from the aquadack to the wire ground around the tube causing it to blow the flyback transformer. You might remember this issue Paul as a kid when you turn on the TV and it just ticks this is the spark arking to ground cheers my friend.
@@wernersadventures8330 My parents had an old Kreisler colour tv we got it around 1977, and eventually it blew up. I think this model had a fault where the EHT voltage ran way to high and punctured the picture tube and that was it. Well from memory that is what I heard, and magic smoke come out of it. Kreisler colorama if I remember correctly.
@@steviebboy69 hey stevieboy69 yes the Kreisler had used the same Flybacks as the Phillip’s units worked on so many of them, winter was the worst with moisture in the air it fried them.
G'day Paul, @ 10:13: the little article about Ralph "Zip Zap Sewer". A bunch of us Grumpy Old Glenelg blokes were talking about him yesterday over our weekly coffee & solving the world's problems session...Where did those 40 years go? That "well" might have been a long drop toilet. When I'm wandering around our amazing bush, I cannot resist dropping a rock down holes like that to try & gauge how deep they are, or hear if there is any water at the bottom...Love your work, mate!!!👍👍👍
Thanks, Paul ... another ripper of a find! I haven't read any other comments, but my thoughts on the vehicles - 1. Morris Oxford Ute 2. Holden EJ Sedan 3. International Ute & I'm guessing 1939-1942? 4. Both Standard Vanguard Utes. My first two cars were Vanguard Sedans a 1950 and a 1952 model. It's disappointing to see all those toys which now are no good, but would have been in better shape when they were abandoned.
Hello Paul. That was another great find I loved it. When you were in the shed with the two cars I could just vision Sunday mornings mum, dad and the children in their sunday best setting out to church. Dad and mum in the front and the baby on mums knee and the other children in the back of the car. And all those old bike and toys it look like they had a big family. The shed you thought were stables, look like pig pens. They were the height of the pig pens we had on our pig farm when I was a child. Thanks Paul for another great video. The open well why don't the fill them in there is enough rubbish around the farm to fill it.
Yep old EJ Holden n couple Morris’s about the same era. Imagine digging that well . Love how you spend some time checking the old papers when you find em . Malvern Star eh ,, what an iconic bit of old Aussie manufacturing. Back when we made everything. Really enjoying the rural SA series.👌
That old horse drawn wagon was a cool find. The old cars as well. Pretty cool find. Those stables look like they may be for sheep maybe sheep birthing holding stalls. Or they were held in there until they were sheared.
🌟Hi Paul, wow a beautiful gem I just love the rustic look and the old Ute wow a real classic from yesteryear. All the old farm equipment and sheds a lot of history the old retro tvs brings back memories from childhood! So peaceful and quiet love love love it really enjoyed it thank you so much again just love seeing these places through your eyes. 🌟😊❤️x
Hi Megan :-) Yes a lot of these things bring back memories for me too. It is amazing to look back at the se markers in time of our history. Cheers for watching :-)
I would love to take that pressed tin, and just put it on a wall with a painted frame around it, also, some of that floorboard is still good, as well as some of that really high baseboard and the trim around the doors. So much in these old houses could be saved. We had one of those old tv's. I vaguely remember it, it was as long as a coffee table, with the screen in the middle and the big speakers on either side. We had 3 channels, ABC, CBS, and NBC, and it had to be changed by hand, no remotes. Rabbit ears on top, and you had to jiggle them just so, and then hold them in place, and they were covered in tin foil-- no cable. TV channels all played the National Anthem at midnight and went off the air until 6am. It's a shame the Transom windows were smashed out. That wagon needs to be in a museum. There was a raised dog feeder in the shed. The stables are amazing. Thank you so much for doing this explore- although I'm going to say, please be more careful walking. I'm more concerned with you're safety than getting a video that we would like-SDK
Lots to see here! That club lounge out in the shed was a cracker, and would make a fantastic restoration project. The little hand-built "farm cart" has what I'm pretty certain are 1950s Renault 4 components: wheel rims, steering wheel, engine and gearbox. Those little Renaults were a rear-engine car, hence what appears to be "front wheel drive" set-up on what we see here. Another fantastic explore - thank you!
Sitting here with a few rev heads the hot Rod home made job right down to the old Holden ect the sheering shed they look like incubators for chook eggs. The old toys also get me lol I’d take them home 🙌😂 thank you once again love love this explanation. ❤️🙏
Paul this was a great explore! Cool house, but I liked the trucks and others stuff! The farm rat rod was cool. The kids car seat was definitely 1970s my brother had one first they ever made. When you dropped your glasses Paul I almost fell off my chair! I am always looking for snakes it scared me!
Hi mate, this was such an epic explore! So many old items from yesteryear, but the cars, bikes, and toys were the real gems. I think the bike you filmed that was upside down could have been a 1940s vintage Speedwell or similar. I almost got the impression that the owner might have been a bicycle mechanic or at least liked to tinker with them. He obviously loved his utes, too. No less than 4 on the property and all unique in their own way. A Morris Oxford, an International and 2 Standard Vanguards. The yellow VW Beetle toy car, whilst maybe not diecast, certainly got my attention too. A truly great find Paul.
This was great! Quite a lot to see and I appreciate tour knowledge of things and actually what to capture on video and the details about the items to spend a few moments on. Nice job on the video. Thank you sharing this part of the world with the rest of the world. Cheers 🍻
Just a small bit of info on the 'cinescope' TV. It was one of the first TV's to make the wider screen and was shortened from 'cinema scope'. Loving the old SA farms and always look for some that I recognise. Love going on your explores and keep up the great work. 😊
Wow im inpressed Paul for sure!!@ Takes me back as well thru yesterday those chairs look from the 50 to the 80s. The kitchen wow the roof is still there @ Great time piece thanks Hun for this wonderful ol Farming House. Take care and @ watching for more vids from you exciting for grand sure.:)
Hello Paul what a great video all that old stuff from the old house to the old toys all the cars until next time stay safe take care love from upstate New York😊
Hi cool find. The rat rod,. With the person standing accommodation with frame to me looks like a shooting rig !!? The engine looks mounted backwards in the rat rod??? Great camera work always steve
Gotta love an old Holden. An 1/2 inch and a 9/16 spanner and a screw driver and hammer and you have a full tool kit to get you out of trouble. lol. Yeah, an EH Holden and i reckon around the mid 60s circa. Have a good one:-)
i have watched your vids for a couple of years.. watching makes me dizzy... but i keep coming back for your accent. lol. i may not watch every minute, but i sure do listen. keep up the amazing work. :D
Definitely a beautiful old house and so many treasures in those sheds! Loved the old Malvern Star bike, I had one of them growing up. All those toys were amazing too, lots of Tonka Trucks! Thanks for doing these for us! Take care out there.
The little trucks are from the Art Deco period. Steering wheels are a dead give away. The homemade little car is what we would refer to as a doodle bugs. Using parts around the farm to create a tool.
Dude you would have loved the 80s era America. It's so cool to see what used to be common to find over here. The nimbies,not in my back yard types , have ruined this type of finds here. I am your catering yank fan and encourage you to carefully continue to uncover nostalgia no longer available in our yuppies rule landscape!
This explore handed you the goods for sure. It was good to see that old bright blue lounge my parents had that would have been definitely the 60s. The cars just kept comming! The Holden my favorite of course.
Hi Paul WOW! Besides the house there were a lot of out buildings to explore. The vehicle in the shed that you didn’t know what it was could it have been a Dune Buggy? Since there are so many old cars maybe this guy had an auto body business. That old wagon was cool. Must have been a beauty when being pulled by a horse. But then again there was a lot going on on that property. A very interesting video Paul. Nice work. I wish you posted more than once a week. You always find the coolest places. Until next time stay safe and well.👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi Paul, The vehicles were interesting. Looks like someone liked to build buggies, I think they were trying to shoehorn a Holden grey motor in to the Morris, probably to make a spotlighting buggy. The 2 utes side by side are Vanguards, the spotlighting buggy is interesting. It looked to be an early front wheel drive design.
The stove setting on the floor in the kitchen that had the burners at the bottom and the oven on top was from the 50's or 60's and is very collectable in the US. The burners worked like a drawer and pushed back in under the oven. The whole thing sat on a countertop and was a built-in unit. Very cool. All I could think of seeing all the tin ceilings was that they were some woman's pride and joy. The building up on piers looked like it had been used as a hatchery, for chickens. My parents had a good sized hatchery back in the late 40's to 1960 here in the states. The equipment and cages in that building looked a bit like some of the equipment my folks had only on a much bigger scale. The homemade vehicle did look to be a race-car of some sort, made out of the front of a tractor and the back of a car. Just guessing on that from photos I've seen. The pedal go-cart is a gem. Awesome explore. Started a bit slow, but just got better and better. Thanks from the US of A.
my parents had exactly the same model Simpson stove installed when they built their house new in about 1970. as you say sat on the bench or rather in a section slightly cut down so the electric elements were the same height as the bench top.
Great explore the morris has a early Holden motor replacing the old 4 cyl Morris eng.THESE OLD frames should be preserved before there are none left so sad !
Urbex Indigo thanks my friend for sharing with me this video about Epic explore! Old gem 40 years abandoned, so much to see! it was a really nice video i really enjoyed it so much and thankyou for taklng your time to share it my friend iam from the U.S.A and i can't wait to see your next video and i always will show you support and God Bless.
This must have been a beautiful property back in the day. Just wandering if it is like here in Canada,the larger corporate farms are buying out all the small farms
The Krysler TV looked like one we got back in about 1973 quite expensive in it’s time. What you thought was the stables I think was a Pig Sty walls to low and wouldn’t be concrete for horses.
I agree that is was probably from the 70's. My grandparents had one just like it. I think it was the youngest of the old TV's and that the hmv TV was the oldest.
Looks like they pulled the motor out of the EJ & stuck it in the Morris ute, to give it a bit more grunt. I think the TV age order would be HMV, Kreisler, then Philips being the newest.
Looked like a #10 wash pan. How many TV's might you need I would think reception out there would suck. Only know 1 of the 5 so no help there. Where I'm from you say international harvester everyone would say your talking about a tractor. Didn't know they mad struck. Made a few hell raising buggy's and put a chain through a car hood to pull the kids. But the high light for me, I am a VW collector. I thought what I wouldn't do for that Aussi VW. Thanks much for a great video Paul.
Please be careful, their are a lot of people who miss you. If you were unable to make more videos. I'm sure your mom would come looking for us. If you got hurt trying to entertain us.😊
That could be a 1954 Standard Vanguard ute from brit, Seems the Super Elliotts Cycles is still a thing today in South Australia?? and thats just a Paddock basher home made, a racer go kart
