Love abandoned buildings, this one looks in good shape - did you go inside?

[Chris K]

@teiko no we didnt. It was on private property and quite a distance from the road. I am pretty sure there was nothing left inside.

So sad to see it empty must have a been a lovely home at one time.

[Pat Knowles]

It looks in good nick too Chris, a shame but if there no place to work or means of earning any income this is what happens perhaps!

[Babs]

Must have been quite an impressive homestead once, shame it has been abandoned.

[Susan Klassen]

Looks like it must have been quite a nice home at one time.

@thistle @seattlite @frappa77 @pennystot @onewing @suklassen

thankyou everyone. I really zoomed in on this house. It was standing in the middle of nowhere on a very large farming property. The owners would have most probably built a new home somewhere on their land.

@happypat we have many of this stone houses dotted around South Australia and they are very old. I zoomed in on this one in the middle of nowhere. The farming properties are extremely large and the farmers may have built a new house somewhere else. Because they are stone houses they stand for a very long time
