Lodge Review: Queen Of The Murchison, Cue

The Queen is one of those delightfully quirky small Outback lodges located in Cue.  Originally there was a pub downstairs but they no longer serve alcohol.  There are lots of cool knick-knacks to look at and this is the area where breakfast is served in the morning.

IMG_5662 IMG_5663 IMG_5666I think I was so overwhelmed by all the birds in the area I forgot to get photos of the rooms.  The pics on the hotel’s website are pretty accurate.  Carla, the very friendly owner was happy to swap fans around to make sure we were happy.  The verandah is a great place to sit, relax and watch life go by.  Prices are very reasonable and a continental breakfast is included.  The one criticism I had was that if you are headed to Nallan for birding, you have to eat before you go, they won’t let you take the breakfast with you as a picnic.  I’m just not the sort who can eat at 5am!

They have several pet birds in large aviaries downstairs.
