WANPA-RDA MATILDA CENTRE is an excursion centre with a difference. Wanpa-rda (pronounced waarn-pra-da) is a Wangkangurru word from the Birdsville district and means "to carry". Hence, Wanpa-rda Matilda means "to carry your swag". From this Centre, you can visit 42 sites from Winton to Birdsville and from Barcaldine to Boulia. These sites capture the uniqueness of the Outback and challenge visitors with their great natural beauty and historical significance. Comprehensive resources.
