St George River Walk

attractions | St George QLD 4487

Car weary legs will appreciate the two-kilometre stretch of shady riverbank walkway flanking St George. A star feature, the river walk begins below the Jack Taylor Weir. There you'll find a commemorative stone to mark Major Thomas Mitchell's crossing of the Balonne River on St George's Day back in 1846. Further along the river walk, a marker showcases the flood heights of the swollen Balonne River from years gone by. A fighter pilot war memorial pays tribute to two men hailing from St George. One of these men, Leonard Waters, was the first aboriginal fighter pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force.
