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 2026 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.
