WAY OUT WEST

WITH ITS EPIC OUTBACK LANDSCAPE AND FASCINATING HISTORY , QUEENSLAND ’ S WINTON IS NOT TO BE MISSED .

The outback had been calling us for some time , and with Queensland # GoodToGo , we decided there was no time better than now to hit the road and head way out west .
As a destination , outback Queensland is huge , and is divided into four regions . Having a three-week window , we decided it would be best to focus our exploration on only one region so as not to rush our experience , and spent the majority of our time immersing ourselves at Winton in the central west .
What we discovered was an epic landscape and dramatic contrast to the coastal regions of Australia where we have previously spent so much time . We visited world-class tourism attractions , quirky art installations and connected with the true blue Aussie characters that make Winton such a vibrant outback town .
Here are our top three ‘ must do ’ Winton experiences …
1 . GO ON A DINOSAUR DISCOVERY
No matter what your age , you will love discovering dinosaurs in Winton . Home to Australia ’ s largest collection of dinosaur fossils , and the world ’ s only known dinosaur stampede trackways , the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum and Lark Quarry National Monument are not to be missed .
With new attractions opening next year , including a Natural History Museum and Dark Sky Observatory , this amazing experience will be almost as epic as the dinosaurs that once roamed this very land .
