St George, also known as the inland fishing capital of

Brisbane in
Western Downs, Queensland. St George is the centre for the Balonne Shire, a rich grape, onion, rockmelon and cotton growing district. A region of surprising diversity and unique attractions, the Balonne Shire is noted for its native bird and animal life, wide open spaces, beautiful waterways and many historic buildings.
This area is legendary for its fishing. With the Balonne, Maranoa, Culgoa, Narran, Moonie and Barwon Rivers all flowing through the area, fishermen come in pursuit of yellow belly and the prized Murray cod and to take part in some of the country’s prestigious fishing competitions.
