Waltzing in Winton

Waltzing in Winton
Winton is a fascinating little town, surprisingly so in view of a permanent population of a little under 900. For example, this is the "Waltzing Matilda Centre" , opened in 1998, as it was in this area that A.B. "Banjo" Patterson (see his statue in the PiP) wrote the poem that became Australia's best known song in the late 1800s. Click here and sing along.

Following that, a meeting here in 1920 founded Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services - these days better known as QANTAS. Then, as I have shown in my previous image, the discovery of dinosaur fossils nearby has led to the construction of the "Australian Age of Dinosaurs" museum a short distance out of town.
