WINTON - POPULATION: 980

WEDNESDAY 10.07.2013: We stayed at the Tattersalls Hotel Caravan Park and of course later learnt that we could have parked free of charge at the back of the North Gregory Hotel. First stop for the evening was a drink at Tattersalls Hotel (built in 1882), and to listen to Anne Bavin "Sax and the Single Girl" - yes Anne played the saxophone - very entertaining.

Onward to a Nostalgia Night at the Royal Open Air Theatre. The open air theatre was built in 1938 on the site of the first Royal, which was constructed in 1918 when silent movies were all the rage. The picture show started with the old pre-show slide advertisements and screened comedy shorts and historic Winton footage. Before we left Winton we visited Arno's Park - Arno Grotjahn's wall contains almost every household item you can imagine. The wall is 2 metres high and extends at least 70 metres and took 15 years to complete.
