Distinguished and Famous people from Cue
🏛️ Tom Cue and Mick Fitzgerald
Tom Cue gave his name to the town, but its gold-discovery story involved more than one prospector. The Cue Heritage Discovery Centre records that Mick Fitzgerald followed information from an Aboriginal man known as Governor and found gold near the future Austin Street in early 1892. Cue joined Fitzgerald and Heffernan, then travelled to Nannine to register the reward claim. Word of the field spread quickly. Cue’s place in the story is the journey to register it, while Fitzgerald and Governor deserve recognition in explaining how prospectors reached the gold.
