Winton

5 hours to Winton over proper flat cattle country.

• 

When we got there we went round the Waltzing Matilda museum as Banjo Paterson wrote it in Winton. There is a new museum that had only just opened and was really interesting.

• 

Checked into the pub caravan site and went for pub evening meal. Great steaks as would be expected.

Water from Winton is from Artesian basin. Tastes normal, but by heck it smells.

The reason why you come here though are dinosaurs. Interestingly only discovered in 2006, Winton is the dinosaur centre of Australia and they are gradually building a museum at the top of a hill with a great view of surrounding area. Good interesting tour, which was judged just right for families.

• 

Stayed till lunchtime then trip onwards to porcupine gorge, 80km the other side of Hughenden.
