Overview

St George is the administrative hub of the Shire of Balonne in South West Queensland, sitting on the Balonne River at the crossroads of the Castlereagh, Moonie, Carnarvon and Balonne Highways. The 2021 census recorded 3 130 residents, many of whom enjoy the town’s riverside fishing for yellowbelly and Murray cod and a strong agricultural base that includes cotton, wheat, sheep and a variety of vegetables. Community life is supported by a visitor information centre, cultural centre, swimming pool, showground, bowling facilities, the St George Golf Club (opened 1948) and a library on Victoria Street, while St George Airport provides regional air links.

Transport is anchored by the Andrew Nixon Bridge, the sole crossing of the Balonne River, giving easy road access to Brisbane and the Gold Coast 513 km east. Families benefit from two government schools (St George State School and St George State High School) and a Catholic primary school, creating a range of housing options for households tied to education, agriculture and local services.
