Lark Quarry to Winton

Longreach, Queensland

From Lark Quarry Conservation Park, take the Winton-Jundah Road to Winton. This road comprises approximately 45 kilometres of sealed road and 65 kilometres of unsealed road. Winton has a rich history as the birthplace of Waltzing Matilda and QANTAS with links to the Great Shearers' Strike of 1891. More recently it has become known for something far more ancient - Dinosaurs! The region is home to diverse natural history and spectacular Jump Up landscapes. Some popular attractions in Winton include the Australian Age of Dinosaurs housing the world's largest collection of Australian dinosaur fossils. Held over the third week in September, the biennial Outback Festival event offers visitors five days of non-stop outback entertainment including the famous Australian Dunny Derby. Rex Air operates twice weekly flights to Winton From Townsville and there is a twice-weekly Rail/Coach service with the Spirit of the Outback from Brisbane. A range of motel, caravan parks and free campsites are available. Stay connected with free WiFi in Winton's main street.
