Winton Shire is a local government area located in central western Queensland, Australia. Known as the 'Dinosaur Capital of Australia', this region has significant paleontological importance due to numerous dinosaur fossil discoveries.

The area holds particular cultural significance as the birthplace of Australia's unofficial national anthem "Waltzing Matilda," written by Banjo Paterson in 1895 at Dagworth Station near Winton. The shire's main town, Winton, represents the heart of Queensland's outback heritage and played a notable role in the formation of Qantas Airways, with one of the airline's first board meetings held here in 1921.

The region features distinctive Channel Country landscapes, characterized by vast plains, red earth, and spinifex grasslands. The area maintains strong connections to Aboriginal culture and heritage, as well as the development of pastoral industries in outback Australia.
