Cue

• Weather for Cue

Take an hour's drive north from Mount Magnet to experience Cue and its fascinating history. The scene of a huge gold rush during the late 1890s, this area is a tribute to the past.

Worth a look is the outstanding photographic display housed in the shire office that portrays the past history of the Cue area. Many magnificent buildings constructed at the turn of the century still stand and are classified by the National Trust.

The gentleman's club (now the shire office), the Cue Hotel, the government buildings, post office, court house, and police station are still being used for their original purpose, as is Bell's Emporium, a shop from yesteryear.

From the ruins of once-splendid stone buildings constructed over a century ago to the beautiful carpets of wildflowers which appear all over the area from July to September, Cue is a great place to explore at any time of the year.

Situated 48km west of Cue is Walga Rock, approx 1.5km long and 5km around its base. One of the caves in the rock contains Aboriginal paintings including one believed to depict the Dutch ships that visited the mid-west coast of Western Australia in the seventeenth century.
