St George, located in southern Queensland on the banks of the Balonne River, is a charming rural town known for its rich agricultural heritage and laid-back country lifestyle. Often referred to as the "Inland Fishing Capital of Queensland," it draws visitors for its excellent fishing, particularly for Murray cod and yellowbelly. Surrounded by cotton fields, vineyards, and cattle properties, St George blends natural beauty with warm hospitality, making it a welcoming stop for travellers exploring the Balonne Shire and the wider outback region.
RV travellers passing through town are welcome to stay at the Kapunda Riverfront Tourist Park, who offers low-cost self-contained sites for just $20 per vehicle per night. This offer gives travellers access to an unpowered site for up to 96 hours. Big rigs can be accommodated here, and pets on leads are welcome.
St George offers a variety of attractions and experiences for visitors to enjoy. You can take a leisurely stroll along the shady Balonne River Walkway or drop a line in the river to try your luck fishing. Wine enthusiasts can visit Riversands Wines, a local vineyard offering tastings and relaxed garden café dining. For history buffs, the Unique Egg displays intricately carved emu eggs by local artisan Steve Margaritis. There’s also the St George Heritage Centre and the Anchorage Homestead for a glimpse into the town’s pioneering past.
