Hughenden to Winton

Emerald, Queensland

Day 5: Follow the Kennedy Highway to Winton, dubbed the ‘Dinosaur Way.’ Call and meet the residents of Stamford along the way. Once an overnight stop for the Cobb and Co Coaches, this tiny town with a population of three people, boasts a community sports club and a country racetrack. Next stop is Corfield, founded along the railway line between Winton and Hughenden, which ceased operation in the late 1990s. Today, there’s only a pub, a camping ground and a post office, but it’s a town with a lot of character, particularly when the popular Corfield Races are held (yes it’s a pun on the better known Caulfield Races). Travel the short distance on to historic Winton, the birthplace of both Waltzing Matilda and QANTAS, and millions of years before either were thought of, dinosaurs! Winton has now claimed the title of Australia’s ‘Dinosaur Capital’ with the discovery of several large dinosaurs dating back 98 million years.
