The family owned and operated sheep station Charlotte Plains can be accessed on the drive between Cunnamulla and St George. It’s worth calling in to see the 1890s station bore pond but many travellers choose to stay a few days to enjoy the station activities. Continuing east make a stop in Bollon for a walk through the Heritage Centre. Arrive in St George and visit Riversands Wines for a wine tasting and vineyard tour. If you’re in town on a Thursday, you can book a tour of a fully operational cotton farm as well. For something a little different, call into the Unique Egg to see the humble emu egg carved into a stunning illuminated piece of art. It’s a world first. Late afternoon is the ideal time for a relaxing two-hour sunset cruise on the Balonne River. Sandytown River Cruises is an accredited Ecotourism Australia Nature Tour, so you can expect to learn much about the river, local bird life and native plants. Overnight St. George.
