Balonne Shire Area
Stretching across Queensland’s south‑west, Balonne Shire is an agricultural powerhouse fed by the Balonne River and dotted with friendly towns such as St George, Dirranbandi and Hebel. Cotton, grains and livestock thrive on its irrigated plains and grazing country, while wetlands attract abundant birdlife. Beyond the broad fields locals have their own favourites: the historic Nindigully Pub serves outsized burgers beside a tranquil river bend, and the small Dirranbandi bakery is renowned for pies that travellers often miss if they blink when passing through.
