Waltzing Matilda Centre Memorabilia

More than just the repose of musical history, the Centre has huge collection of "old stuff". Here's a sample. 



The basis for the song, "Please refrain from making water while the train is at the station ...."






Strait jacket, with instructions. 



Kero fridge. 





The beginnings of Qantas, in Winton. 

The first Qantas passenger ticket. 



Hello. My name's Shaun. If you're going to lay those hands on me I hope they're not cold. Can't stand cold hands. And make sure those shears aren't blunt. And go easy when you get to the back end, OK?





Time to head home. Boy, that steering wheel's bloody hot!

That's much better. 

Our last night in Winton, at the Tatts Hotel.

  1. Sounds as if you are both having a good time. The photos are good just went through them all. The dinosaur bones are impressively large when you stand next to them.
    It is bed time now.
    Safe traveling
