CUDDINGWARRA AKA DEAD FINISH     

Latitude 27° 22' S Longitude 117° 47' E
 

Cuddingwarra is a townsite in the Murchison goldfields near Cue. When gold was first discovered in the area in 1888 this place was known as "Dead Finish", but when the government gazetted a townsite in 1895, Cuddingwarra was the name chosen. Cuddingwarra is the Aboriginal name of a nearby hill, first recorded in a pastoral lease application by Lacy Brothers in 1878-79.
