The town of St George is a pleasant rural service centre which is located on the Balonne River. The vast flatlands of the Darling Downs stretch beyond the Great Dividing Range. The town provides services to the surrounding wheat, sheep and cotton farmers, and, in recent times, fruits, grapes, vegetables and beef have enriched the local economy. It is a town located idyllically beside the river, and is known locally as the ‘inland fishing capital’ of Queensland.
