Welcome to the Balonne Shire
The Shire of Balonne is located in Queensland on the New South Wales border some 500 kilometres from the east coast of Australia and has an area of 31,119 square kilometres. A region of surprising diversity and unique attractions, the Balonne Shire is rich in native bird and animal life, wide open spaces, beautiful waterways, and many historic buildings.
Rural industry has created and is supported by the towns of St George, Dirranbandi, Bollon, Thallon, Mungindi and Hebel. Small localities such as Nindigully, Boolba and Alton are places of historic significance and important meeting places for the rural communities and travelling public they serve.
