St George is mostly a stopping point to break an Outback journey. It is a very small town of largely agricultural workers for the cotton growing industry. We visited the Riversands winery for brunch and wine tasting, both were excellent. The artesian hot pool on the main street was very inviting but we declined due to the strong wind. There was nothing else of interest. There is a Foodworks superette and a couple of pubs.

St George is a great town. It is well maintained with good facilities. The river walk was very enjoyable. We stayed at the Australian Hotel that was very comfortable with delicious food, cold beers and wonderful staff. The town was bustling with other travelers and we enjoyed a nice morning tea at one of the cafes.

The bed was comfy, quiet location but a fairly depressing outlook from windows onto a gravelly carpark. No fly screens so unable to open any windows and one set of louvers held together with a towel. Too frightened to investigate that as the thought of it falling apart to let mosquitos🦟 in was far worse than fresh air. Honestly it was only $92 so I suppose that is what I should have expected. Oh forgot to state no hot water at all so I skipped the shower thankfully as the floor in shower recess was not looking that good.

The visit to Riversands Winery was well worth it is only approximately 5 minutes from town. The sunset 2 hour cruise on The Balonne River with Brett of Sandytown River Cruise was well worth it, very informative and engaging.

Easy to get around St George but be aware of local police patrols. It is said they target interstate visitors for routine breath tests and vehicle registration checks. Enjoyed meals at the Australia Hotel in the great outdoor dining area and St George Bakery had great pies and sausage rolls. Riversands Winery was very relaxing and enjoyed a private function there with a great menu.

There's plenty to see and do in the town, Riversands Winery, the Unique Egg, 1917 T-Model Ford Baker's truck tour of the town, the spectacular river walkway with plenty of BBQ's, viewing seats and tables, the river weir & bridge and the native bird life. The Australian Hotel, whilst needing an internal upgrade, serves up great marinated pork ribs. The Visitor Info Centre is very helpful.
