Ruins of Cue Hospital



A nice little 10 minutes walk just out of Cue where you find these ruins of the old Hospital. We both became aware of shadows moving around the ruins. By the light of the UV torch we could definitely identify the shape of human figures but as soon as we used the LED torch there was nothing there. These shadows kept "lurking around" while we were there. Once Cue in the 19th Century became a scene of nightmare. Without proper medical help and sanitation the town was plagued with typhoid fever. It is said that at nights one could not tell the difference between dingoes howling in the surrounding bush and the feverish cries of diggers laying around. The fever took the majority of pioneering prospectors and strange enough most of them between the age of 20 and 35.
