The Australian Age of Dinosaurs is a museum focused on Australia’s evolutionary history, in particular the discovery, conservation, and research of Australia’s dinosaurs. It is a working museum – an education resource, research facility and tourist attraction. It features: • World’s largest collection of Australian dinosaur fossils • Most productive fossil preparation laboratory in the Southern Hemisphere • Dinosaur Canyon walk with life-size bronze dinosaurs • Work on real, 95 million-year-old dinosaur bone fossils found in the Winton area • Spectacular views from the top of The Jump-Up (Australia's first International Dark-Sky Sanctuary) with striking rocky outcrops and canyons; walking trails; animal and bird life; it’s a photographer’s paradise!

We spent half a day here and it was time well spent. The fossil preparation laboratory and collection room tours are both very interesting and informative, whilst the dinosaur canyon tour is also impressive. All tours are hosted by guides who are very accomplished and obviously very well informed about the material they are discussing. The planned extensions to the attraction look very impressive. Well worth a visit if you are in Winton.

If you love trucks, especially older trucks, then this is a great place to visit. There is a display of restored trucks, trucks undergoing restoration, and a "graveyard" of trucks that have seen better days but still valued as museum display pieces. Not expensive either, $5 for grey nomads. The museum is directly behind the Matilda Country Caravan Park on the road to Hughenden.

Do not go to Winton without visiting Winton Opal Gems. The most beautiful jewellery in town and spectacular opals. Stephen is full of knowledge and super helpful in selecting a piece that suits. You won’t find service as good as what you get from Stephen anywhere including his after sales assistance, he goes above and beyond. Thanks again Stephen for my beautiful opal
