Winton is the birthplace of QANTAS and the home of Waltzing Matilda, Dinosaurs and Opals. Discover Winton's myriad attractions dedicated to history and prehistory, and enjoy the natural beauty of Winton Shire. With many free and paid attractions, there is something for everyone!

NB: Council wishes to advise that engineering advice has confirmed that an internal rammed earth wall is showing signs of rotating and as such the Dinosaur Stampede National Monument will remain closed until further action is taken to ensure the area is safe for use.

Council is also in the process of approaching both State and Federal Government agencies and their respective Ministers to obtain a financially sustainable outcome for the Dinosaur Stampede National Monument.
