St George is about six hours drive west of Brisbane. The best route
seems to be via Warwick (New England Highway), and thence by the Cunningham
Highway to Goondiwindi, and westwards by the Barwon Highway. The country
is flat, flat, flat. The town is situated on the Balonne River, which
has a weir, built in the fifties. It was formerly a sheep grazing area,
but the advent of water has brought greater diversity, with wheat and
cotton growing. The nearest railhead is at Thallon, some fifty miles
distant, so road transport is very important. The cemetery is just outside
the town on the north side, on the road to Surat. It is about 100 metres
off the road.
