24 Sep 10 - Winton

By Lou: There were a couple of things I wanted to see in Winton – the Waltzing Matilda museum and a collection of dinosaur fossils discovered relatively recently.
















Time was against us so we skipped the museum (Sam had covered that bit of Oz literature in school. Tick.) and headed out to the Age of Dinosaurs facility out of town.


















It was interesting to learn that locals had discovered new species of dinosaurs and to see the painstaking work taken to separate bones from dirt.




By Craig: Other than the road into Winton being long and dry, I didn’t know what to expect going from an add suggesting that new dinosaur fossils had made the town of Winton famous.
My one and only experience in the town of Winton was not a pleasant one as my father in law at the time, Jimmy, had passed away and help was required to return a car and caravan back home.

However this time I was pleasantly surprised and very interested in my visit to see some of the most unique fossil ever found in Australia.
