Ok not a lot to report today. We left Mt Magnet with plans to carry on to Meekatharra, but finished up at Cue with Elaine resting her back!

That meant that I took a good long walk around the town. We passed through here last year and I walked the Main Street, but there was lots more to see. Firstly I walked down the main street to the visitor centre which was in a side street. Before going in I photographed the Masonic hall which is very old built of timber and corrugated iron. Then spoke to the lady and found out that the town is working towards RV friendly status, somewhere down the track. Followed by a longer walk around  this town which is putting a lot of effort into attracting tourists. There is lots to see and there are a couple of parks, lots of sheet metal tableaux, a caravan park and eventually there will be an RV park. I stopped at the shire office and had a look at their photographic collection, I don't know how many, maybe a thousand or more, certainly censory  overload and well worth the time. There was also a model of the Big Bell mine but it needed an explanatory diagram so that one could understand what it was all about, and it was a big operation and a very detailed model.

Then with the shires permission we camped for the night.
