Saturday morning we went for a little walk around town. The markets by the river were going strong.
Then time to hit the road north. Pretty uneventful drive. The road wasn't overly busy, but had to pass a fair few three carriage road trains at a bit over 50m long. Not really a big deal due to straightish roads and truckies who will indicate to let you know that you're good to go.
However, also came across mining gear like this. You needed to wait for the pilot a few kms ahead to give the all clear. Again, done safely and easily.
We found a little spot to pull off from the main highway and a good enough spot for a lunch break under the only bit of shade. Parking on a slope made making sandwiches a little tricky....but shade was a priority.
We arrived in Cue later afternoon. Our accommodation was The Queen of the Murchison Guest house
Queen of the Murchison | Guest House & Cafe The couple of who it are lovely. At check-in the lady saw we were there for two nights and very kindly moved us to a bigger room at no cost. The rooms are clean and the shared ablutions very clean and tidy too.
Now this is where the story of the trip goes downhill. There were rumours of some other rabble doing this loop in the reverse direction. As so, MrsDaver6 and I met up with
@JohnM, BrotherJohnM and BrotherPartnerJohnM. We did a little walk around town and then MrsDaver6 and I went to the pub to scope it out for dinner with the rabble and his brother.
Some pics from around town. The old Masonic Lodge.
The main drag with a rotunda in the middle
Now by this stage,
@JohnM had informed me he had consumed most his good wine. Problem was, the pub had this on offer
With this in mind, we decided to reconvene later for dinner with the gang and stuck to beer and the famous Cue Burger which was a meal and a half. A good evening on catching up on travel tales. BrotherJohnM and BrotherPartnerJohnM were lovely company. I suppose
@JohnM isn't too bad after all
