St George is situated on the Balonne River and once again, there were parks and an excellent walkway along the banks of the river running almost the full length of the town.
It was right on dusk and there were plenty of birds on the river. These beauties are Mulga Parrots. I don't think I have seen these close up before.
After all of the great place names we had been through, Cunnamulla, Quilpie, Thargomindah, Boulia, Windorah, Jundah etc, it was a real let down to arrive at St George. How boring is that? I'm going to start a petition to get the name changed to one with an aboriginal background.
