Combo Waterhole Conservation Park
Believed to be the inspiration for the song "Waltzing Matilda," the waterhole is a short drive off the Matilda Highway, about 150km (94 miles) north of Winton. It is then an easy 40-minute walk from the parking lot to the waterhole. Combo Waterhole's story is told on interpretive signs along the way, which will take you across the Diamantina River channels on century-old stone-pitched overshots. The waterhole might inspire you to break into a chorus of "Waltzing Matilda." This is a great place for bird-watching too.
