    The day tour to Winton was amazing. We were picked up by bus from our lodgings by Outback Pioneers at 6:30 in the morning and we were off for a day of discover. Our first stop was the Age of Dinosaurs Centre. What a fantastic place to visit if you’re interested in palaeontology. Fossils of dinosaurs were discovered in the region about thirty years ago and from then on, this marvellous centre was built for those interested in dinosaur fossils. The tour guide explained the long and slow process of digging up and ensuring the preservation of these fossils and live sized bronze statues showed us what they would actually have looked like when alive. Then it was off to Winton Centre for lunch at the The North Gregory Hotel and we were entertained by Gregory North who recited poetry by Banjo Patterson who lived in Winton for a while. A wander in town after lunch then back on the bus for the return to Longreach at around 4:10 in the afternoon. A great day out.

    Our driver was very experienced and gave us the local knowledge but I found many of his comments boring, dated and sexist - considering most of travelers were women ! The lunch at Winton Northern Hotel was more of a kids sized meal of either fish n chips or bangers and mash - both pretty cheap meals to prepare.

    We booked this Tour, online, directly with the venue before we left home because we were unable to book a tour with the local Tour Company. We drove ourselves to Winton from Longreach, a trip of about 11/2 hours each way, not difficult.

    As my husband is unable to walk very far, the staff at the centre were very helpful and we were able to enjoy a shorter tour, involving a visit to the laboratory and the film and talk at the centre. Watching the people actually working on the finds from the diggings was very interesting, and our guide (Jacob) was very informative. Everything was very well done and well worth a visit.
