Winton Shire Hall, QLD, Koa (Guwa) Country
Winton Shire Hall stands on the traditional lands of the Koa (Guwa) People.
Winton is the home of the dinosaurs, opals and cattle industry… and the home of the dunny derby as well! Best known as: Australia’s Dinosaur Capital due to the huge number of dinosaur fossils found in the area and the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum; the birthplace of Waltzing Matilda, where Banjo Paterson’s iconic song was first performed in 1895; the first home of QANTAS, which was originally established in Winton before moving to Longreach.
