The founding site of the Australian Labor party? Something to do with a shearing strike. There is a tree of knowledge which is just outside the train station. This is where they meet to discuss the issues. It was a windy drive down to here. We also stopped at a […]

20231026 Qantas Founders Museum

Headed over to the founders museum. Pretty good museum, but expensive. And we only did the basic entry. It’s almost like an economy entry, and then there are a few better options. So it is confirmed that Winton is the birthplace of Qantas however they moved from there pretty quick. […]
