St George Region
An easy drive from anywhere, the St George Region is a welcoming oasis in Queensland’s Southern Outback. A place like no other, it is one not to be observed but to immerse yourself in.
From meandering rivers and sweeping rural plains to well-maintained sealed highways and rugged red dirt roads, it’s the perfect city escape.
Take some time to unwind in the region’s seven towns of St George, Bollon, Dirranbandi, Hebel, Mungindi, Nindigully and Thallon – all uniquely situated on a river. Breathe in the fresh country air, explore the vast landscapes, and enjoy the freedom of St George Region’s wide-open spaces.
Experience famous historic Australian pubs, homesteads and painted silos. Meander along the inland rivers and waterways which supply endless fields of produce and some of the best inland fishing in the country – don’t forget to bring your fishing rod!
Explore pristine national parks with prolific birdlife and native animals including emus, kangaroos, hidden koala colonies, and if you’re lucky, the endangered northern hairy-nosed wombat. By night, lay under a blanket of billions of stars, shining bright in a rich tapestry - it’s a light show like you’ve never seen before.
Get ready to awake to a new day beyond the city and experience the oasis in the outback that is the St George Region.
