This is a bit of old news for Wintonites, and maybe some
Grey Nomads, but the new Centre is expected to be completed in September, 2017. If it is completed about then, it should coincide with the 2017 Outback Festival. Below are some architects drawings.

For anyone still travelling through the the area, the museum is still open every day.

Hi Bob
Thanks for the update, and it sounds great.
I hear the country up your way is looking real good, compared to last year when we saw you.
We are on the track at the moment, but when we stayed at Mount Cavanagh Station, just over the border in the NT, Wayne had just got back from taking a road train of cattle from their station to
Winton and he said the country was loking great.
All the Best.
Cheers
Stephen and Fiona

Yes, country is looking amazing(for July/August) after some good rain, Stephen. Falls from around 50-100mm up to some big falls south of town, around 290mm.
Western River just started to come into town, before falling away, and a lot of travellers caught in town when Landsborough H'way was cut.
Few 'vanners caught at Old Cork were evacuated up to a council
camp close by, when flood waters blocked their escape, and their larders were looking a little bare.
Otherwise, all good.
