Notes:
Known as the 'Queen of the Murchison', Cue was once the centre of the
Murchison Goldfields with a population of more than 10,000. Today Cue is
almost a ghost town. It has a small population and many of the
impressive buildings, constructed during the goldrush period, are now
empty or in ruins. They are a reminder that the miners who arrived in
the town in the early 1890s, and made their fortunes on the rich gold
reefs which surrounded the town, were determined to build a solid town
of substance and importance. The appeal of the time lies in its
remnants. It is a reminder that all mining towns are only exist as long
as the prices are good and the minerals are plentiful. City/Town : Latitude: -27.4245191, Longitude: 117.8969772
