No time for line dancing!
Winton
,
Australia
We spent a couple of hours at the Stockmans hall of fame which was terrific. I had a great time and was relunctant to leave but I think Caitlin and Riley had felt that they had absorbed enough outback
Australia
to last them a while. Caitlin was also hungry off course as there was a cafe there and she was hoping to get something there, alas, it was tomato sandwiches back at the truck. I give her A+++ for her persistance, the hunger comes in waves which seem strangely linked to passing a service station or McDonalds. Off to Winton after refueling, we stopped just short of Winton at a road side stop. Caitlin found another family there travelling around
Australia
so she had lots of fun playing with them. We have found it very unusual to come across families travellling, over the past seven weeks we have only encountered two families, one from WA and the other from
New Zealand
travelling around
Australia
. We left early in the morning after Breakfast for Winton which is famous for two reasons, firstly it is the place where Banjo Patterson penned Waltzing Matilda and secondly it is where a farmer happened upon a femur (spelling??) of an
Australia
n dinosaur which they have called Elliot. There is many references to both of these throughout the town. With our uncanny knack we again have encountered the show and ute muster so the town basically shuts down. We still enjoyed our visit and considered it a real outback town.
