Winton was originally called Pelican Waterhole, not sure why. The towns water comes from the Artesian Basin and it has a strong odour of sulphur. When you first smell the water it is quite off putting. They suggest you fill a container, let it stand and chill the water for excellent drinking water. It is excellent drinking water and I have some chilling now for our onward journey tomorrow.
Winton has a number of attractions and Arno’s wall is one of the wacky ones. It is contructed from concrete and rock and is studded with old lawnmover parts, boat propellers, old machinery, old typewriters, several complete motorcycles, just about everything you can imagine including the kitchen sink.
