Manawatu, near Palmerson North.

These neighbouring abandoned farm houses are on the main highway, each sits in the middle of it's own field, They're really derelict and have no windows, some floors missing and no possessions left inside except piles of rubble, old stoves etc.
I managed to lose my phone while leaping over a gate to get to them, I don't think the photos were worth that...but some good ones all the same. There were many outbuildings in various states of decay, abandoned farm equipment, holding pens, water tanks etc out the back...if I'd had longer to explore I could have spent hours wandering around in the very picturesque meadows surrounding the houses.

The house with no floors

This house had no floors so I climbed up through the basement using a tin of paint to stand on.. Murphy's law dictates that I'm always wearing impractical clothing (sun-dress and jandals in this case) when I decide to clamber around in places filled with sharp bits of metal and dirt :-P
I'd been to that house before on my abandoned building explorations but it was locked up and impenetrable.

*About a week after I went in this house I drove past and noticed it was gone, with a big digger crouching in the front yard.
I hope they rescued the great old singer sewing machine and other useful things inside before they knocked it down...I wished I'd thought to take that sewing machine when I saw the pile of rubble where the house had stood.
