Located in Winton, the Waltzing Matilda Centre celebrates the creation of Australia’s most recognised bush ballad. Written by Banjo Paterson in 1895, “Waltzing Matilda” became part of the nation’s cultural identity. The centre combines interactive exhibits, artefacts, and storytelling to bring the song’s history to life in an engaging, modern setting.
At the Winton Waltzing Matilda Centre, visitors explore themes of bush life, shearers’ strikes and early settlement. For over 50s travellers who value heritage and storytelling, it is a meaningful cultural stop on Queensland tours through the outback.
