Masonic Hall
This is a site locals avoid after dark. We stalked out the place at night and detected orbs and strange lights beside the eerie atmosphere. It wasn't however until we walked away from the place and across the road where we felt being followed and the EMF meter went off the charts.Once Cue was a rich prospecting town and the Masonic Hall was visited as often as the church, if not more frequently. Take note of photos of pagan festivals that are today displayed in shop windows that once Cue was host to.
Place to stay
Inside the Queen of Murchison Bed and Breakfast. A beautiful building, wonderful meals, friendly owners and a resident ghost that lurks around the back hallway.

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.
Cue Tour Guide
Nabil Haji is a long time resident of Cue and among many things he is the local "archeologist" and the keeper of the Museum. here he shows his rare find, an old prospectors' tool aptly named "widow maker" used for breaking up stones. The inhaled asbestos caused many deaths among diggers in the early days. His pamphlet you may find around Cue reads like below (and its quite underestimating him) A Tourist Guide
