Cue towards Sandstone

After packing up and checking out of the caravan park at about 10.30am we called in at the Shire Office, the old Gentleman's Club, to view an assortment of old photos they have on display. These date back to the late 1800's and cover all three towns of the Shire, Big Bell, Day Dawn and Cue. If you are ever up this way take the time to have a look. After taking a photo of the old railway station we headed off on the 80km trip to Mount Magnet. We were looking forward to seeing Lake Austin a big blue lake on the map, only to find a big salt lake with a very small amount of water. The next stop was only about 10ks before Mount Magnet but much more rewarding. It is called the Granites and covers quite a few hectares with one section called the amphitheatre. We had lunch among the Granite boulders and then headed to Sandstone, driving straight through Mount Magnet because we have to come back this way and we will have a look then. We are camped tonight at a big area behind a rest stop about 40ks out of town on the way to Sandstone.もっと詳しく
