From Dirranbandi, it’ s a side trip to the small town of Thallon. This tiny town has spectacular silo art, comprising bold, colourful murals showcasing its wildlife, farming, and the local landscape. These towering grain silos have become a dazzling outback gallery and an absolute must-see for anyone exploring this unique corner of Queensland.
With food still on our mind, the legendary Nindigully pub was our lunch stop. As Queensland’ s oldest pub, the‘ Gully’ is a real icon, home to the famous, jaw-droppingly huge‘ Road Train’ burger.
Arriving in St George, this charming town is also nestled alongside the Balonne River. The setting offers a perfect mix of historical character and natural beauty, making it an ideal place to settle in for a while.
For our visit, we made Pelican Rest Tourist Park our base for exploring the area. While in town, stroll the riverfront walkway to Jack Taylor Weir for tranquillity and scenic views, or take a peaceful Balonne River cruise for a different perspective. Then, sample regional flavours at Riversands Winery, where you can enjoy local wines and produce in a welcoming garden setting. For a truly unique experience, hop on a cotton farm tour to discover the story behind one of the area’ s most important industries.
