Greetings from the racecourse at Meekatharra. We are about 5 kms out of town with another couple, from NSW, in a caravan camped on what is just a parking area with no facilities.

This morning I did the so called heritage walk in Mt Magnet based on a simple booklet that the shire puts out. The only problem was the none of the features were signposted, it was still a nice walk. We then moved on to another feature from the booklet called The Granites where we expected to see aborigine rock art. On arrival there was a mud map, we then went to one of the picnic spots and spent nearly an hour unsuccessfully looking for the paintings. Pity that they hadn't taken the tourist thing a bit further and signposted the attractions in town and out of town.

We also stopped at Cue for lunch and to have a little look around. There are some beautiful, old, buildings here then wonder of wonders I drove. On the way to Meekatharra we saw an open cut be that seemed to rival to Kalgoorlie super pit in size. We had a look but weren't able to find out anything about the operation here which is fairly big.
