Jundah, Stonehedge, Winton

We decided not to travel on the dirt road to Winton as the rains had knocked it around and we had been told it was pretty rough and as usual not enough time. Everything was shut because of the easter long break so scooted through Longreach ( back to that later) and off to Winton. An amazing museum and info centre dedicated to Waltzing Matilda and the beginings of Quantas - definetly one of the best displays we have seen yet - soo much to see and all really well presented. It took all afternoon to see only part of what they had there,  very enjoyable.

Off to Lark Quarry the next morning to see the only found fossil remains of a Dinosaur stampede. Amazing and spooky as we were looking at footprints of animals from over  95 million years ago!!!

On the way back to Winton stayed at a Sation called Carisbrooke. This property is owned by the Phillott family and are related to me as my grandmother was a Phillott. Charles ( they are all Charles) and Penny were lovely to meet and I wished we could have spent more time with them. They have station stays including camping or 5 star cabins and houses with everything supplied. This is there main source of income as they had to get rid of most of their cattle and sheep due to the drought. The place is lush and green - so hard to imagine in drought.
