N/AStatement of Significance
The former Cue Battery and Office have historic significance for their association with the mining industry in the town. The place has added significance due to its close proximity to the town. The Office building has high landmark value and is a very visible structure on the southern entry into Cue.
Physical Description
All that remains of the Cue Battery are some concrete and timber foundations, large water tanks on timber stands and a timber framed corrugated iron clad shed. Immediately north of the Battery site is the former Battery Office which is now in a poor state of repair. This timber framed structure is completely clad with corrugated iron and has a hipped roof with a mono-pitch verandah roof. A rear lean-to roof is attached to the rear with a metal chimney to the west elevation.
History
The Cue Battery originally opened on 19 September, 1919. Initially it was a 5 head battery but was later increased to 10. It crushed ore until the mid 1950s and was burned down in the 1960s.

1995Statement of Significance
The Race Course has considerable social and historic significance as evidence of what was a very popular pastime throughout the Murchison District.
Physical Description
The racecourse was situated immediately north-west of the town and included two corrugated iron and timber structures – a tote office and committee rooms, which were built around the turn of the previous century. Both buildings were in poor condition in 1995 and since been demolished. The grandstand, which stood adjacent, has been demolished although the foundations remain.
History
The Murchison Goldfields Racing Club was established in 1803. By 1897 there was a grandstand of sorts and a totaliser headquarters described as “...a well built structure with a row of skilful cashiers sitting behind a wire netting...” [G. Hope, p58] Situated about two miles north-west of the town, a newspaper report described the setting: “The track is egg shaped and measures a distance of 1 mile 160 yards, and has been cleared about 1 chain wide...Coming down the straight a nice looking picket fence has been erected for a distance of three chains....A space has been fenced off below the judge’s box and weighing rooms, secretary’s and committee rooms erected....Outside the weighing enclosure the totaliser has been erected...The grandstand is erected on a small hillock, and from it one will have an excellent view of the course, and situated as it is the most exciting of the finishes can be correctly watched...A long line of stabling has been provided and large tent for the “jocks” erected. [Murchison Times and Day Dawn Gazette, 27/10/1897, p2]
