Returning to St George, Queensland: A dam(n) good ride
Our second visit to St George, Queensland, felt like coming home. This small town on the banks of the Balonne River had already captured our hearts during our first stop, and this time, we were ready to explore even further.
One of the highlights of our trip was taking our motorbikes out to the E.J. Beardmore Dam, a peaceful spot just a short ride from town. The weather was perfect for a ride, and the roads were quiet, making it an ideal outing for a couple of motorbike enthusiasts. The dam itself is a beautiful, tranquil spot, and we were able to park up, stretch our legs, and take in the views. It’s one of those places where the landscape just stretches out for miles, and you can really take a moment to appreciate the quiet beauty of the region.
We spent some time by the water, chatting and watching the birds that seemed to have made the dam their home. It’s a great place for a picnic or a quiet moment of reflection. The serenity of the place really made us feel like we had stumbled on a secret part of St George.
Back in town, we explored some of the local cafes and shops, soaking in the relaxed vibe of this rural town. The people here are friendly and always willing to have a chat, which made us feel welcome, as always.
St George is one of those places you can return to again and again. Whether you’re exploring on two wheels or just passing through, it offers a perfect combination of natural beauty and small-town charm. We’re already planning our next visit!
