Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Melissa BBrisbane, Australia82 contributionsWhat an absolute blast, this place was awesome! The whole place was fascinating with non-stop "wow that's so cool" comments! It wasn't cool in temperature so be prepared when outside.
The tours are brilliant and we did two one of which was the lab tour. Absolutely amazing again!

- OldjackGreater Melbourne, Australia29,387 contributionsThe Bladensburg national park was large and dry and dusty but still interesting. A little out of Winton there are some 20 KM of dirt roads, some interesting rocky gorges and creeks and nice outback scenery.Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark EWhitianga, New Zealand802 contributionsHad some time to kill in the afternoon and the wife loves trucks so spent a few hours wandering around here.
The couple looking after the place were awesome. He was able to give us a good knowledge of the place and the volunteers and owners of the huge range of restored trucks. Nearly all if not all of them run.
Some awesome models of trucks.
His wife in the shop was lovely.
The yard out back has many donated trucks so they have endless spares.

We knew this site from the TV series Outback Opal Hunters.
Wall built with lots of interesting old and not so old items fixed in here and there.
Lots of antiques buried in there too.
Nice park like setting beside it.
Bit over grown out front

- Kay MBrisbane, Australia427 contributionsWorth a visit for a bit of fun. We couldn’t get the musical fence to work! Too technical for us!

- Brissy2Hervey Bay, Australia8,186 contributionsEntrance is via the Waltzing Matilda Centre which it is attached to and is in an outdoor area. We hadn’t heard of Qantilda Museum previously so we were surprised to see the outdoor section which consisted of an old cottage, sheds with vintage vehicles and farming machinery, a railway station including train carriages and a theatrette – there was just so many historical things on display.Written 30 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OldjackGreater Melbourne, Australia29,387 contributionsThe statue of Banjo Patterson is quite impressive outside the equally impressive Waltzing Matilda Museum in the main street of Winton, a surprise to find such a structure in a remote country town. Apparently Banjo was traveling with his Fiancée Sarah Riley , near Winton in 1896, caught up with an old friend of Sarah's called Christina Macpherson who had heard a band play a tune at the Warrnambool Races, played it back to Banjo, who was inspired and wrote Waltzing Matilda. The statue, like Winton was a surprise.Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mark BBrisbane, Australia9 contributionsThe best $20 you will spend. We are an old boomer couple who went on nostalgia night. What a hoot! The young ones should be queueing up to see what they missed out on. A must do in Winton.Written 16 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
