KOOKYNIE TO LEONORA
Description
Cue Western Australia, Australia
Cue is the perfect place to stay a night or two when touring the outback Murchison region of Western Australia.
The Shire of Cue is 120kms south of Meekatharra and 80kms north of Mt Magnet, right in the middle of the beautiful outback. Its not a flat, arid landscape as people might imagine. The dark red backdrop is scattered with striking wildflowers, native animals, huge breakaways and bright white salt lakes. As you make your way into town you are struck by the heritage of the gold rush town lying in every building along the main street. If you are planning on including Cue in your outback adventure, its about 650km north-east of Perth and just over 400km from Geraldton.

Grand Hotel, Kookynie and Willie the horse
Not far from Laverton Western Australia is a living ghost town named Kookynie. Visit the pub and you will find Willie the ex pacer. He stands between you and the entry to the Grand Hotel and will refuse entry unless you pay his entry fee, we had carrots this day. With Willies approval in we went to find an amazing building full of character and charm. We met Marg the Publican and Mouse and Les, two locals who were true outback bushies. I highly recommend if you are neaby take the turn off and meet real Aussie characters and learn a little about the Bush.

Cuballing - Western Australia
The town of Cuballing has a population of approximately 300, and the whole Shire is approximately 600.
The Cuballing Hall was been re-painted inside and outside and restored to its original beauty.
The town seems to reside in the distant past and visitors may feel like they have stepped back to the 1930s. The town dates back to the 1880s and despite never developing like its near neighbour Narrogin, it manages to survive.
The major attraction in the area is the Dryandra State Forest which is one of the last remaining pockets of woodland in the wheat belt. This area will help people to understand what the wheat belt was like before it was cleared for cropping.
In the forest, there are still colonies of woylie, tammar and numbat plus over 100 species of birds. A guided tour of the area is available by tuning your radio to 100FM.

THE GHOST TOWN THAT WOULDNT DIE ORA BANDA WA 2011a
Ora Banda is a townsite, now a virtual ghost town, located 66 kilometres (41 mi) north east of Kalgoorlie. According to folklore, the town name is Spanish meaning 'band of gold'.[1]
History
The Ora Banda Hotel was the place to meet up.
Gold was discovered in the district in 1893 and in 1909 the Ora Banda Progress Committee requested the Government make additional lots available, but it was 1911 before a decision was made to declare a townsite there The survey of lots was made in 1911, and the townsite gazetted in 1912[2]. By 1910 there were approximately 2,000 miners and their families living in the area. The town had two stores, two butchers, two bakers, a town hall, dining halls, a post office, a police station, churches, boarding houses and billiards saloons.
The once famous Huntington Mills Bank was situated there. Which in its time it was the largest bank in the Southern Hemisphere. In 1911 the Ora Banda Hotel was constructed by Alfred E Garnett using stone and brick.
On 17 June 1913, Eileen Walls (13yrs old) led a procession of school children up the main street, and had the honour of cutting the ribbon and so officially opened the Ora Banda State Battery. The five head battery ran three shifts and in 1936 another five head had to be added.
Water was supplied to the town by dams until the town was connected to the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme from Kalgoorlie in 1933
The Ora Banda school burnt down
Living conditions were rough.
Mine shafts were scattered across the area
[edit] Current
Today's goldmining companies are still working the same sites discovered nearly a century ago, and on the outskirts of town you will find the Ora Banda State Battery which is still used to crush ore.
Annually in September the population swells for a day for the Ora Banda Race Day. The race track is opposite the historical Ora Banda Inn.
The town hit the headlines in 2000 when Gypsy Joker, Billy Grierson, was fatally shot while sitting at a camp fire on the old town site. Former Criminal Investigation Bureau chief and Ora Banda hotel owner Don Hancock was suspected of the shooting and his properties were later fire-bombed. Hancock was later killed in a car bombing in 2001 in Perth, Western Australia in a revenge attack by other Gypsy Jokers.[3
