    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.

    The day was about dinosaurs, waltzing Matilda and the past life at Winton. The waltzing Matilda museum is well worth a visit.

    The whole trip was extremly well planned and kept to schedule (when everyone arrived back to the bus on time). The driver/guide was excellent with a great knowledge of the local area. Our trip to the Dinosaur museum was excellent and informative. We were supplied with tea/coffee and home made anzac biscuits for morning tea.
