Hey Explorers! This video I venture out in to the red Aussie dirt of South Australia where an old original farm house sits enduring the decades as they roll by. This old gem is larger than it seems when approaching and would have homed a large farming family back in the day with lots of hard work and happy times along the way. She is slowly falling down but still has all the old features to see and admire along with the wildlife that has made homes here including a stumpy tailed Lizard that had gotten himself stuck down in a septic pit. But I made sure he was going to roam the red dirt once again! :-) Hope you all enjoy the explore, thanks for watching
This explore was an old stone built farm house in South Australia that seems to have been a thriving farm back in the day and now is just sitting slowly decaying. It has all sort of things left behind all over the place and old sheds. Hope you enjoy the tour :-) Cheers for watching
Another explore I really enjoyed and hope you do too. Cheers for watching :-)
Lots of items including beds and furniture still in place and the timeline of last vacancy seems to be a bit odd as you will see. A farming family most definitely would have lived a long life here of a few generations where it now just sits as a ghost farm. Lots to see here with all the cool reminders of the old days. Hope you all enjoy the video, cheers for watching :-)
This old home has furniture/beds and stuff left behind and is slowly starting to now fall apart.
Seems to have been used periodically some years ago for its last use. A grand old home with original features still inside , would have been an original homestead to the area. Has some huge sheds which seems to have been used for shindigs and parties back in the day. Hope you all enjoy the tour , thanks for watching :-)
This video is another explore from rural Victoria recently when I decided to take a drive and see what I could find. Late in the arvo on my way back from another one I came across this eerie home.
On closer inspection the home seems to have had occupants in the last 7-10 yeas who decided to up and leave for what ever reason?
Hope you all enjoy the tour. Cheers for watching :-)
as this is a location he has explored previously and on this day we both we t back to document it.
The loving home of a little old lady who was married and was a Grandmother. Her husband passed away and she continued to live here in her humble abode til about the year 2000 it seems when she passed away or perhaps went in to care.
Many of her personal items still remain and precious photos depict a happy family but it seems though for what ever reason these belonging were left here to stay with the home........
A link below for The Frightened Explorers original explore video shows that the home was a bit more tidy and things not moved around or messed up as in this documentation.
A time capsule of a loving Lady who obviously loved her cottage and live here as long as he could.
Hope you all enjoy. TFE`s original and follow videos below-

This explore I team up with The Frightened explorer youtube.com/@thefrightenedexplorer4262 again and visit an old farm homestead I found 6 months ago but never got to film. So after exploring one not too far away we made our way to this one and it was a huge old Sheep Farm that has been abandoned some years ago. The home itself would have been built around 1900 give or take a few years but had attempts to try spruce up the interiors here and there but something made the owners give up and leave.......SHEDS everywhere that show this place used to be a buzzing hive of activity back in the day.
Hope you all enjoy the explore of this grand old home. Cheers for watching :-)

Today`s Christmas video I am back in country Victoria teaming up with "The Frightened Explorer" where we trek out in to the wild Aussie bush to find a cottage I spotted via Google. It was a great adventure to finally get to this old gem and see her in beautiful natural decay. Built in the late 1800`s this old cottage seems to have been a sheep farm and even has a hand built shearing shed made from tree logs. Lots of old things still left inside lying around including items and clues to when it was last occupied and attempts to repair the old girl. A blast fro the past for sure with all the little reminders of the olden days we love to think back and imagine about.
Glad we got to film this as it is one of those ones you feel totally isolated away from everything!
Cheers for watching, hope you all enjoy and Merry Xmas! :-)
A huge double lot with fruit trees and a bird who was keen to get the fruit but then confused on how to get out of the tree coverings! Then a mysterious person turns up!!!
These home will be demolished very soon unfortunately.
Hope you all enjoy the explore, cheers for watching :-)
Will resume getting the ones with a lot of history uploaded after the Xmas break at this stage and other really nice ones I have to wait a little while with :-) Also heading over to country Victoria for a few weeks so intending on getting out for some more old farm houses! :-)
Hope you all enjoy the video, cheers for watching.
Hope you enjoy the tours. Cheers for watching :-)
The home is actually over 100 years old and as you will see once inside the layers of history start to be recalled.
The area of Findon in Adelaide was always known for it`s gardening and farming form yesteryear and this dwelling and parcel of land has been a true survivor up until the last few years.
Even the old original shed has a unique original purpose and I add some history of the property toward the end of the video. Hope you all enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
They have tipped the hat to that former era by including the bay window and also some interiors features such as the mantels and walls.
2 levels of very well naturally lit rooms with a view only a few have in Adelaide!
An awesome in ground pool out the real estate pics show this this home when it was lived in and in all it`s glory. Obviously headed for demolition we will keen an eye out on the replacement dwelling or dwellings.
Hope you all enjoy the walk through, cheers for watching :-)
Aviemore was situated on Stephen Tce, Gilberton and it was built in 1886 with ties to 3 famous families here in Adelaide, South Australia.
The most notable being the Smith Family. Ross and Keith were the son`s of Andrew and Jesse and they became worldwide aviating heroes when they won the the great race set out by Australian Prime Minister Billy Hughes in 1919 from England to Australia. They were both Knighted for their efforts.
A great summary of these events is provided in the introduction along with the other famed families who owned this old home which include Reginald Kidman Reid the grandson of Sir Sidney Kidman also George Arthur Goyder son of surveyor George Woodroffe Goyder
After calls for this home to be saved and restored it was unfortunately demolished in July of 2022.
Hope you all enjoy the explore and history. Cheers for watching :-)
Cheers to Helen for providing some great photos also. :-)

This video was a last minute replacement as I have to add more history to a video which will be upload next week featuring an old home with very significant former owners and occupants.
Also I have been very busy this week which also included rescuing an abandoned adult male cat that Michael accidently found recently. I will share his story a bit more soon but he features briefly in the intro today. With that said today`s explores are from various suburbs and are homes that have been neglected, abused and vandalized but do have a lot of things left behind along with "paintings" :-)
Good old fashion gringy grungy explores here guys and gals so I hope you can see the fun in the fiasco! Cheers for watching :-)
Cant give away too many details on this place other than it is a magnificent and unique arts and craft influenced bungalow that will stun you! Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching :-)
The first is a magnificent Tudor style home right on the beach esplanade! So many details and features. Ye a salvage process had started but we still se the home in all its glory via the real estate pics. The second is a very unique gentleman`s style bungalow that is transitioning in to the 30`s interiors of the Grand Tudors. This one also was in salvage but the real estate pics do her justice!
Another 2 homes from the late 40`s finish of the video so I hope you all enjoy :-)
This upload I take you through another 2 homes. The first being built in 1960 and has a blend of both vintage eras of the 50`s and 60`s. Retro kitchen/Bathroom and living room all reminders of the emphasis on style and entertaining. Added real estate pics give more depth once again.
The second home is one of the most quirky ones I have filmed and thankfully there are some rreal estate pics to showcase just how much of a 70`s time warp this place was.
It was a 1920`s transitional style bungalow that had additions and alterations to create an upstairs living area along with a granny or in law flat adapted downstairs. A real fun home that has now been demolished also.
Hope you all enjoy the tours, cheers for watching :-)
Today we take a look through 2 very distinct but very different styles of the 50`s.
The first is a classic waterfall art deco style home at the beach and the second is a massive 1959 built home in the foothills.
Hope you all enjoy. Cheers for watching :-)
This week I take you through this massive Bungalow for a look. It is early 1920`s Californian style Gentleman`s Bungalow and these were not built for the common worker. This style was for the well to do man and lady and this one was owned first by 3 successive Doctors up until the 1970`s when it became a government run youth welfare home.
The home has levels and the upper level seems to be added later perhaps then it became the welfare home. I will do a more detailed follow up regarding history in the future.
Yes.........this one is going to be redeveloped and I had been watching this one for access for some time. We get a look before any salvage process has started and to top things of there are also some amazing real estate pics which I have added towards the end showing this gem in immaculate condition fully furnished.
In ground pool and shed with stuff also a bonus. Hope you enjoy the tour. Cheers for watching :-)
This weeks video I take you through a 1915 craftsman style bungalow that is pretty much all still in it`s original condition all while decaying from neglect.
Hidden in the overgrowth of it`s former gardens this old gem is a very unique and quirky example of the Arts and Crafts movement that influenced federation era architecture here in Adelaide.
Terracotta and ornate chimney`s/leadlight/stucco rendering and an inventive floor plan stand out to me as more than just your standard bungalow.
This old girl unfortunately has not received the tender love and care required to stave off decay and foundation issues.............this seems to have lead to a date with the wrecking crew.....
Lots of old feature to see here so I hope you all enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
This video we take a look at this massive early 50`homes. Look can be deceiving from the front but there is room after room after room of old 50`s retro. Unfortunately it is in rough shape and from my understanding it used to be a hoarders home for its last use.
It would have started life as a very upper class and expensive one level mansion almost and the art deco themes are classic to revival period also known as waterfall style. This is one that I would absolutely love to see in original condition. Still heaps to see though including a massive lap pool and a hidden shed with stuff in it that almost remained unseen.
Hope you all enjoy. Cheers for watching :-)
I have had these couple of explores on file for a little while an as they were in the same old suburb I thought I would put them together for this weeks video.
A vintage old street front shop built around 1900 which has the old villa attached although very derelict inside we can still see what was and how things were altered over the decades.
The little workers cottage was built in 1880 give or take a few years and was used as a rental up until about 2018. The power was still on and it is a classic example of the row cottages that filled the streets of this old suburb back in the day. A very old working class area with much history. I will be working of a great historic video of this area also.
Hope you al enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
Today we look at 4 old dwelling that all were situated in the suburb of Millswood here in Adelaide, South Australia. 3 were on Mitchell Street and the other close by at the end of Alexander Ave.
The first 3 homes are all classic early 1900 sandstone and red brick cottages/villas and I was able to uncover some history on all 3 and find a few old items within the dirt which enables a good old goose chase on Ancestry to unlock some of the mystery and questions it lead me to ask.
Joining the dots was easy on some aspects but not so much on a few others which you will see.
These old homes can tell us so much about days gone by and how people went about their lives back in the good old days.
The last home was a little more recent being and early 501s build and I do also show what has taken the place of a couple of these old gems and you all can feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Hope you all enjoy the video, cheers for watching :-)
Today`s video we look at 2 classic old homes with very distinct and contrasting styles.
The first being a cottage that was built in 1913 and I found some history of first ownership along with some details of their lives. An iconic corrugated iron clad home with lathe and plaster walls very distinct to the Port Adelaide and surrounding suburbs.
The second home was a huge old beach side bungalow down on the esplanade at Semaphore built about 1920.Federation style fireplaces and a bit of a unique build as you will see.
I was only able to get these 2 homes during the salvage process and the floors had been pretty well removed. Hope you all enjoy :-) Thanks for watching.
Adelaide folks will be familiar with the story of this place and the intersection upgrade that claimed 47 properties and many mature trees. All the details and history are in the video. Hop you all enjoy, thanks for watching :-)

While I am working on some larger detailed doco style videos I will be uploading a combination of explores I have had on file for a while and some newbies I have found. The first home in todays video is a purpose built duplex cottage which when inside is a huge place for its time and is part of a land parcel that seems to be going to have an enormous redevelopment very soon. I did explore 2 blue stone cottages 2 years ago to the rear of this that have now been demolished. links to those here- youtu.be/3VJg7Hn-Kjg youtu.be/wejTeX8o-d0
The second and third homes are both the other end of town and are built around 1915-20 and the second has actually been fixed up and is now had people living in it for well over a year. The 3rd is still standing and vacant, not sure of its fate.
Hope you all enjoy the tours. :-) Cheers for watching
This video I have put together 3 old places from earlier explorers that are all in the suburbs of Adelaide. Hope you enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
Also Heather who is Werner's partner, her channel is here- youtube.com/c/ComehitherwithHeather
Cheers to Werner for passing on this location! Werner filmed this one a few weeks back and as I explain I was a little bit late getting here after my trip over the border and captured this place during the salvage process.
A huge home in a very affluent suburb with magnificent gardens and trees. This place would have been a really beautiful spot to live.
Lots of additions and reno`s had to made over the years but there is still some old features showing from the late 40`s early 50`s.
The second explore is of an old Villa that was a duplex property which also had been altered and renovated over the years.
Hope you all enjoy the walk through. Cheers for watching :-)
Here are the last 2 old homes from my visit to Victoria recently. The first one is a very secluded one which I found on Google maps and it has been sitting decaying since the 60`s when it seems the last occupants may have been in there, it is a true time capsule but a very run down one with cool old nick nacks/bottle/tins left behind. Distinct feeling of being back in time!
The second one is another late 1800 early 1900 cottage that was lived in up til about 2010 then it rapidly fell in to disrepair as you will see. Lots of sheds at this one too!!
I add a bonus shed I though was an old home just because I can. :-)
Hope you all enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
This video we take a look through a quirky 1920`s bungalow that has a fair bit of stuff left behind by who who ever last lived there. This place always seemed run down and not maintained although lights could be seen on at night. Recently it looked to be open and perhaps ready to be demolished so it was time to snoop around! :-) Lots of nooks in this old places and also a root cellar.
The 2nd and 3rd homes are neighboring homes and have now been demolished. Both from different eras of the 50`s and 80`s!
Hope you all enjoy the tours! Cheers for watching :-)
This old country cottage is way out on back roads also and although in rough shape it still has some cool old remnants of the past still inside including period interiors from the late 1800`s to early 1900`s. An old racing guide indicates that the last occupant may have been in 1995.
This was a cool little explore as I always love these secluded ones from well back in the past.
Hope you all enjoy, thanks for watching :-)
This was a lucky find on another back road while taking the wrong turn.......
It did end up feeling like a bit of a horror movie too.
A beautiful reminder of what used to be on the outside for this old farm homestead but inside had a darker tone and one room in particular.
There was a family living here.......at least a mother with several children. Then they something happened and all the toys and dolls also many furniture items were just abandoned...
Now the home sits eerily quiet on a lonely road with secrets within.
Hope you all enjoy. Cheers for watching :-)
This explore is of an old but still very livable old farmhouse that I found way out on back roads pretty much in the middle of no where! Well as close as you can get to that in the farming areas.
It did seem very eerie to walk up to as it was so isolated but once inside you could soon tell a happy family with lots of children lived here and it makes me wonder weather the isolation was too much. The home does need some attention and the floors are sagging here and there but I have seen worst than this and it could be saved. Many home like this get vacated and never have another resident.......this may be another one.
Hope you all enjoy the explore, cheers for watching :-)
This video I find an old country cottage that again is quite secluded although some other farm homes are scattered around the area. This once cosy place seems to have been abandoned mid to late 90`s which seems to be a consistent time frame fro these old country homes I have been finding. Everything has been left behind and the front 2 rooms are now starting to the ceiling collapse which will soon make the rest of the home follow unfortunately.
Lots of retro things to look at and this place could be a great little getaway place or even a home again if it were to be saved soon! I really enjoyed this one too and I hope you all do as well.
Cheers for watching :-)
This video I am still out in rainy cold Victoria where I found an eerie looking old 30`s bungalow style farm house that sits on the side of a hill.
Vacant for a long time it seems probably the late 80`s or early 90`s. The old place is weathered and weary but has cool old things left including art deco features and also old wainscoting which made me think it was added to at some point in the 30`s.
The place has very old sheds that were made of logs and I really wonder about who lived here and if they passed away leaving the home to just decay away gradually.
This was another cool explore for me and I hope you all enjoy it too. Cheers for watching :-)
This video is one of my fav type explores where I find a secluded old overgrown farm house via Google maps and know absolutely nothing about it until I drive out and try find it in which I did and it was located at the end of an old disused driveway. Abandoned from the late 90`s and many items have been left behind with a less than welcoming and quite disturbing presence from this old place! There were loads of old sheds and things sitting around to look at and wonder about. This was a really cool adventure and ticked all the boxes for me as an abandoned discovery explore to get the adrenaline going :-)
Hope you all enjoy the video, cheers for watching :-)
This video I find an abandoned old farm house out on back roads and stop off to check it out.
It had a very eerie nervous feel to it and looks to have been vacant since the 90`s with a mixture of items left in the homes and many out in the back shed.
Not only did this place have that eerie lonely feel it had a couple of residents that I bumped in to! I am not sure who was scared more me or them!!!! :-) It was a great explore in the end and had everything I love about finding an old home out in the country.
Hope you all enjoy :-) Cheers for watching
Today`s video I have 4 very old country cottages that are just sitting slowing decaying. The first 3 are actually in a row and have been vacated at different times over the years with the occupants just up and leaving a lot of things behind which creates a great visual with the decay and many questions as usual. They would have to have been built about 1900 give or take a few years.
The last cottage is located on a site that almost looks like it was last used as a weekend getaway but originally started out as a functioning farm back in the day. Several old building here but the cottage is one that could easily date back to the 1850`s/60`s.
Hope you all enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
Still out enjoying the cold rainy weather in Victoria at the moment but luckily still have been able to film some old country homes. These 2 are out on lonely roads and both are from around the 1930`s .
The first home is a decent signs and is showing more sign of decay and neglect as the second home seems to have had a decent attempt at starting some sort of renovation which just stopped. Nature is again starting t reclaim.
Hope you all enjoy the video . cheers for watching :-)
Back in the country at the moment! After 4 days of straight rain I was able to get out and do some filming! I have another 5 days or so to try get some more old country homes on film too so I really hope the rain hold off a bit.
Hope you enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
Today we look at a grand old federation era villa that was converted and added to for student accommodation but seems to have served it`s purpose as it now sits vacant and damaged.
The second 2 homes are from the late 30` early 40`s but had heavy remodeling done and were in the throws of salvage.
Hope you enjoy the snoop around, cheers for watching :-)
