The drive between Boulia and Winton will take you through some truly spectacular country and be sure to make a stop at Cawnpore Lookout with its expansive 360 degree views over the Lilleyvale Hills. Make a stop in Middleton, population two, to share a yarn and refreshment at one of the most isolated pubs in Queensland, the Middleton Hotel. Middleton was built during the Cobb & Co era and was a changing station for tired horses on the route between Winton and Boulia. Early afternoon, arrive in Winton, a small outback town that punches well above its weight. It is the birthplace of Qantas and Australia's unofficial national anthem, Waltzing Matilda. Winton is also home to the boulder matrix, a rare form of opal and more recently its world-class dinosaur attractions.
