Winton

We arrived in Winton for lunch. Set up the caravan at the caravan park in the Main Street. Again another very hot day. We spent the afternoon in the Waltzing Matilda museum, which, as well as being cool was surprisingly interesting. Back at the campsite there were Brolgas walking down the street(both evening and early morning). There was a bit of a downpour overnight around 11 Mls so things were pretty wet for an early pack up.
We arrived at the Australian age of dinosaurs at 8:45 for our tour. We cut it a little fine after another mishap typical of us. As Jamie turned into the servo for fuel it triggered the emergency break. The caravan was still half way across the main drag of Winton. We were initially unable to put the plug back in however eventually did so. It’s remarkably easy when you put it in the right way!😁. Fortunately we didn’t need the RACQ although Jamie had started h the e call. Also on the way we drove past. Cattle muster in progress.

Anyway The Australian Age of Dinosaurs 🦖 🦕was fantastic. So interesting and a real up close experience watching the staff and volunteers uncover and repair the fossils. The setting was spectacular and included a section of a dinosaur stampede m, which they had dug up, relocated in pieces, and put back together over 3 years in an environment that will preserve it. The guides were informative and answer lots of questions. There was also some amazing re enactments set along a walk and interpretive displaces to explain.Read more
