The outback is a truly mesmerising part of Australia and Central Western Queensland is where the magnificent landscape is entwined with our unique culture. The countryside has a rich historical links to The Great Shearers' Strike, Banjo Patterson, Waltzing Matilda, Qantas and a chaotic mass of dinosaur foot prints.

Winton is the home of many legends and most notably the proud home of Waltzing Matilda. The town has a museum dedicated to iconic poem. Just 10 minutes out of Winton is the Australian Age of Dinosaurs, were you can see one of the largest dinosaur skeletons found in Australia and maybe even get the chance to uncover a new species of dinosaur.

Roughly 85 kilometres South West of Winton is a place to experience the true magic of the Australian outback…Carisbrooke Station! Hosts, Charlie and Penelope Phillott, operate the working station and run exclusive tours of the property and surrounding areas.  Carisbrooke is encased by the dusty rich red earth and provides spectacular and unspoilt landscapes.

Among the 50,000 acres that makes up Carisbrooke Station, you’ll see some spectacular scenery – a highlight being Cory’s Range featuring the Three Sisters rock formation. With Carisbrooke Stations charm, scenery and wildlife combined with its choice of accommodation and famous outback hospitality, you’ll never want to go home.

In this area the link to Australia’s prehistoric past is strong. Just south of the property are the remains of a few terrifying moments frozen in time – Lark Quarry. These track ways are the worlds only recorded evidence of a dinosaur stampede, which inspired the stampede scene in Steven Spielberg's movie "Jurassic Park".
