Top Longreach Archaeology Tours

The guide, Layne, was so authentic, bush bred and raised, with great sense of humour. Loved his commentary. The trip was well worth it seeing it through the eyes of locals who were all part of the discovery of the fossils. Well organised.

This tour provides easy access to a day trip to Winton. The tour guide was excellent, providing great commentary on the trip to Winton. The places of interest we visited provided a good insight into the history of the region. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Longreach.

There is so much to see at Winton – the Australian age of dinosaurs. Museum was absolutely brilliant as was the canyon. So informative. The Waltz in Matilda Centre was really really good. Really enjoyed Gregory North and his Waltzing Matilda poetry recitals (bought his book at an amazing Price) at the North Gregory Hotel. I couldn’t recommend this day highly enough.

Full day of great narrative, awesome guides at the Dinosaur Museum, lunch and entertainment at the North Gregory Hotel in country style. Enjoyable informative day with attentive staff

We enjoyed our experience , but would do it different next time to allow more time

Great day out. Brad was a very good driver and very knowledgeable about the various locations of the tour and museums that we visited. Enjoyed lunch. The owner of the hotel was highly entertaining in relation to the Waltzing Matilda history. Would recommend.

Early start at 6.30 but the commentary on the way was fun to listen to and the landscape was amazing the closer you got to the Dinosaurs. Great to see the Dinosaur stampede and our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We visited the Waltzing Matilda Museum in Winton and had lunch at the North Gregory Hotel. That was a bit of a disappointment with the fish and chips not really living up to Pub food expectations, but overall an excellent day.

It was wonderful to see the sights of Winton and the Dinosaurs. The work that has gone into this display is top class. We are so glad that we went. The day was well organised, and the bus driver was very informative.

We went on the Winton Dinosaur day tour which included lunch at North Gregory Hotel and Matilda museum. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an unexpected pleasure for my husband and I to absolutely enjoy listening to the poet Gregory North reciting Banjo Paterson poems and relate the true beginnings of the Waltzing Matilda’s lyrics. We would probably have liked to stay a bit longer in Winton as there s much to visit. We were impressed the pride shown in Winton with its mid street well maintained flower gardens considering its skirted by arid landscape.

An early morning start pick up at 6.30am but everything well organised our bus driver Duncan was lovely and very informative. At the Age of the Dinosaur we had a lovely girl Jorgie as our guide and she had so much joy and enthusiasm, she obviously loves what she does and it certainly makes the experience something to remember.

Amazing to hear about how the dinosaurs came to be in the area in the first place (Winton). The history of the district, being an inland sea some many millions of years ago? The whole tour was well organised, Banjo Paterson's pub in Winton, Waltzing Matilda Museum, and the delightfully moreish anzac biscuits with fresh tea.

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Comfortable bus trip to the Dinosaur Museum, which was interesting & informative. Nice lunch at the North Gregory hotel & loved the entertainer. Another couple of stops of interest. Overall an enjoyable day, worth what we paid.

Great day trip,so many different activities included. Comfortable bus, driver was great, so friendly & knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed the lunch & Banjo Patterson show. Dinosaur Museum was fascinating.

Very comfortable coach trip from Longreach, great driver, knowledgeable, plus so humorous. ( I think it was Duncan). The presentation was great, not rushed and those that could not see/ hear all were able to have this repeated. The Architecture blended in beautifully so as not to be obtrusive. So well planned. The views around the area were astounding, it was hard to believe that we were so high to achieve these views. Prior to this I had no idea that dinosours were ever even in Australia.

Good overview of the modern history of the area from the driver. Saw lots of birdiife. Dinosaur Museum was great especially the trackway.

The day tour to Winton was amazing. We were picked up by bus from our lodgings by Outback Pioneers at 6:30 in the morning and we were off for a day of discover. Our first stop was the Age of Dinosaurs Centre. What a fantastic place to visit if you’re interested in palaeontology. Fossils of dinosaurs were discovered in the region about thirty years ago and from then on, this marvellous centre was built for those interested in dinosaur fossils. The tour guide explained the long and slow process of digging up and ensuring the preservation of these fossils and live sized bronze statues showed us what they would actually have looked like when alive. Then it was off to Winton Centre for lunch at the The North Gregory Hotel and we were entertained by Gregory North who recited poetry by Banjo Patterson who lived in Winton for a while. A wander in town after lunch then back on the bus for the return to Longreach at around 4:10 in the afternoon. A great day out.
