Geez i lived there from 74 to 79, wild place. My father was a shearer so i got to see the land. Bit of a nefarious place for those of us that know bit of its dark history.
1942 Lyndon Banes Johnson plane landed in Winton. My grandfather fixed the plane he made the part needed in his workshop. Plane was up and away. Six months later usa arrives in Winton saying we want your talent - offered to take the whole family to USA. I have pieced together the nefarious past of real goings on out there. Quite interesting indeed.
Great video. Thank you. I recall going to country racecourse too McKinley and Kynuna, Cloncurry Mary Kathleen, Boulia and Mt Isa. The 70s were great out there. I am grateful for that time out there.
Yanks having the rights for Australia’s unofficial anthem and paying for it. Come on Twiggt Forrest or Gina (as the government has no spine ) buy it back please
That doesn't surprize me. Lyndon Banes Johnson plane apparently landed in Winton 1942 and happened to go to Carisbrook station (where the so called Dinosaur tracks were found - I don't believe that for 1 min all a scam)
We enjoy your informative sharing in your vids.
My house was where the muesum now is. 48 Elderslie Street. I recall the old nuesum it was excellent.
