Welcome to the Hollywood of the Outback
Lights, camera, action the Winton Shire is home to the most recognisable landscape in western Queensland thanks to its long association with the film industry.
The township is also making a name for itself as the dinosaur capital of Australia because of the fossils found and displayed in the region. The communities of Middleton and Opalton are also part of the Winton Shire. Top industries are tourism, agriculture, film and mining.
