The town of Winton receives international recognition after going "above and beyond" to protect its night sky.

The Queensland town of Winton has been certified as an International Dark Sky Community.

The town has committed to managing its light pollution and installed warm bulbs in its streetlights.

Winton Shire Council and tourism operators believe the certification will attract stargazers wanting to experience the natural night sky.
