St George and the surrounding towns offer a surprisingly diverse experience.  Enjoy inland fishing at its best, see unique emu egg carvings, visit Queensland's most western winery and have a beer in the iconic Nindigully Pub.

The name St George was placed upon the site when Sir Thomas Mitchell and his party made a crossing of the Balonne River on St George's Day on 23 April 1846.  Today, St George is a town where visitors find themselves drawn to the Balonne River, with water as 'the bread' of the town - the source for work, rest and play!

Indulge in scenic walks along the river parkland and enjoy the beautiful jacaranda and bauhinia trees that paint the town purple and white.
