Fall Hook, Line and Sinker for the St George Region!
Boasting seven welcoming towns uniquely positioned along riverbanks and highways, the St George Region is one destination you’ll be reeling to explore!
And what better way to do it than by taking part in our I Got Hooked on St George Region Scavenger Hunt – back for 2025 with brand-new clues, new fishy fun, and a limited edition, highly collectable keyring you’ll want to show off with pride.
Your mission? Follow the clues and track down the nominated landmark in each of our seven towns – St George, Dirranbandi, Bollon, Hebel, Thallon, Nindigully, and Mungindi.
With each clue you solve, you’ll collect a colourful Fish Token representing that town to add to your special “I Got Hooked” keyring – the ultimate souvenir from your journey. Complete the full set of seven tokens and you’ll go into the draw to win a $100 fuel voucher, drawn monthly throughout the season.
But don’t let this one be the prize that got away – the hunt is only running while keyrings last!
