Lue Homestead about 1920
Raffin built the homestead from bricks made and fired on the property near the woolshed and shearers' huts, which had been built by Dowling in 1900. The new house was finished in 1917 and called "Lue".

Lue Station wool shed about 1920
Later dances were held in the wool shed.
People who attended these dances travelled miles in open sulkies, the little ones in blankets on the tray of the sulky, the youngest clutched on mother's lap. The home cooked goodies for supper were strapped somewhere on the back. Cold or hot they went for their social outing and what's more, they went with one idea to have a good time and they did have a good time. lf a fight developed among the "young blades" that merely added to the excitement. News was passed on and friends met and romances began.
