beepinpete_WA Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Cheers FellasIt was a great trip for sure, all 5 of us had just met and we all got on really well together like old buddies (Rare).The dog is now in training "Gold sniffing course 101" we thought if pigs can sniff out truffles what the hek We did lose a few afternoons due to the heat 33c and over but that time wasnt wasted, cold beers and attackplans filled the gaps as usual.Old Cue JailThe old gaol is located on the grounds of the Cue Caravan Park and was built between 1896-97, though it wasn't officially gazetted until 1902. The structure was built by James Dawson from a design supplied by the Architectural Department. The gaol featured a central open design surrounded by cells, which in hindsight was not considered a particular great design. The gaol was strangely not built next to the police station. Being a gold-rush town the police force consisted of a Sub-inspector and 24 men , of which several were Aboriginal trackers. It was essential that the town had a considerable police force as the area would often become volatile due to the large gathering of men, the 13 pubs and the rush to find gold. The gaol ceased operations in 1914 but was used as a lock-up until the 1930's. Sadly or ironically the gaol ended up being an ablution block for the caravan park until 1977.Bells EmporiumThe original Bell's Emporium store was a small stone building owned and operated by Robert Bell in the early 1900's. The Emporium was a typical small town store stocking essential supplies for the locals. In 1936 an additional (and larger) store was build beside the original. The new store was built in 1936 from galvanized iron, a material of choice by many people living in outback areas. Both buildings feature wide verandahs and front glass windows.Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
