What does relaxing and holidays mean to you? Does it mean winding down in our wide open spaces, exploring the vast outback or getting to know a local? Whatever your style, there’s a spot just right for you. It’s home to an oasis in the bush with long summers, stunning landscapes, white cotton fields, preserved history and the majestic Balonne River. Stepping onto the red soil you will immediately feel the unique mix of local and rural influence wherever you go within the Balonne Shire. Throughout our shire, you can walk amongst the very trees Sir Major Thomas Mitchell explored and catch a glimpse of droving cattle like the days of old. The Balonne Shire showcases the best the west has to offer; the vastness allows you to roam free and visit townships rich in history.
The beautiful Balonne Shire is home to the towns of St George, Dirranbandi, Hebel, Bollon, Nindigully, Thallon, and Mungindi (Qld).
