St George Airport connects the rural town of St George to Toowoomba and Brisbane. Pick up your Hertz hire car here and explore this quaint Queensland settlement and its environs.
While cotton, wheat and sheep are the big earners around here, fruit is also grown, a fact that has allowed Riversands Winery in St George to thrive. Stop off here for a ploughman’s lunch washed down with port and muscat in the attractive surroundings of their gardens.
The Balonne River flooded St George – and the Riversands vineyard – repeatedly between 2010 and 2012. But normally it provides a pleasant feature for the town. You can even enjoy a pleasant tour with Sandytown River Cruises.
