Nallan Lake via Cue

Well , one way of displaying displeasure is NOT to purchase anything in Cue - and let the businesses in Cue know as you pass by .... simply stop , say hello , say how unfriendly your shire is and you will purchase your supplies at another town.

It is a great place, but it is a nature reserve, and these generally exclude campers, particular those who have in the passed left a mess at this bird sanctuary. We enjoyed our overnight on the lake.



Mh

Didn't know that Nallan Station had accomadation getoutmore, you could be right.

Hi Deanna

We stayed overnight a Nallan Station in 2003, lured in by a cute Cow Mailbox (owner said it used to have a calf with the cow, but people kept pinching it).Camp area was very quaint. We were the only campers there, and the primitive bathroom was very much into the Cow theme. I think they also did farm stay accommodation. It is a small station and the proprietor was at the time we were there working on the mines, as well as providing farm stay and camping. I think the fee we paid was pretty cheap, and power was available at the price although we didn't need it. There was also a swimming pool fully enclosed in mosquito proof shade cloth, but i don't know if that was available for guests, or just for the family. Furniture around the homestead was made from natural look logs from somewhere near where i live in the SW, which added to the rustic appeal of the whole place.

G'day Alan and all interested Forum members, I apologize if my post came across as blaming the Cue Shire or the caravan park in Cue, it wasn't meant as being anti Shire/caravan park or Nallan Station Stay.

The Shire of Mount Magnate also have had painted ~ non official looking signage at the Granites, which is another beautiful place rapidly being excluded because of morons acting irresponsibly.

I was just trying to highlight the absolute fact that places that once were quite accessable and nice places to stop and spend time at, are rapidly being shut down mainly because of irresponsible actions by "People" who just don't give an utter rats arse about what their actions may well cause once they have dissapeared into the distance.

A point of example in the Newman area ~ the free to use gas barbecue facilities on the shores of the Ophthalmia Dam have since they were put in place by BHP Billiton and the East Pilbara Shire ~ been used for target practice, they have been shot up - plain and simple vandalism - WHY !!!

BHPBilliton are a very generous corporate citizen in the region, but they don't just throw their funding away, the mindless morons who vandalize community and private property are going to bring this generousity to a stop and even the travelling public ~ YOU ~ will possibly be affected to a point.

The image included with this rant is a perfect example of stupidity to the fullest.Image Could Not Be Found
This bicycle is one of a large fleet that were donated by BHPB to be used by the "Fly in Fly out" workers housed at various accomodation villages as transport around town, I know the funding for this "Fleet of bikes" was in excess of $15,000 ~ a generous gesture repaid by stupidity.

Hi Motherhen, It was the roadside area that we stayed in when we were there, in the early evening we could hear the generators running from the back of the lake and at the time we did comment that being a reserve they are lucky to be able to go that far in.

Cheers

Deanna
