Winton might be a small outback town, but its place in Australian history is anything but. Set along the Matilda Highway in western Queensland, Winton is known for the stories, people and discoveries that have helped shape the nation.
It’s here that Banjo Paterson penned Waltzing Matilda, Australia’s unofficial anthem, and where Qantas was officially registered before becoming one of the world’s most recognised airlines. More recently, Winton has become internationally known for its connection to dinosaurs, with remarkable fossil discoveries revealing a window into Australia’s prehistoric past.
The town’s pioneering spirit remains part of its identity today. From its rich outback heritage to its connection with opal mining and life on the land, Winton continues to celebrate the character and resilience that define regional Australia.
A bus to Winton arrives in a destination where history feels close, stories are proudly shared and the outback is woven into everyday life. Few towns capture the spirit of inland Australia quite like Winton.
