What are you waiting for!?

St George is a busy business centre for the Balonne Shire and its surrounds. Many people who visit St George for the first time comment on the beauty of the town with its magnificent water views over the Balonne River.

​Almost every street has an avenue of flowering trees including the Bauhinias (springtime) in Victoria Street and the Jacaranda soon after. Roses thrive and take pride of place in most gardens.​

Local climate conditions are ideal for a variety of horticultural and agricultural farming.  Cotton, sheep/wool, grain crops, wild game harvesting, fruit and vegetable production, and beef /cattle lead these industries.

Horticultural industry has expanded into table grapes, rockmelons, pumpkins, onions and garlic plus watermelons.

The local vineyards produce significate table grapes for wine and the well-known Riversands ‘Port’. Moon Rocks is a significant producer of onions and garlic and other produce and supply major supermarkets nationally and overseas. Taste and Uncork the Magic before leaving town.
