Never expected this in St George but it makes sense given the proximity to emus. It looks ordinary from outside but the nme is compelling and inside ther are emu eggs carved, decorated, polished and with all sorts of paintings on top. Apparently from their web site it is the world’s only display of hand-carved, illuminated emu eggs one of which have been gifted as far as the White House.
Very interesting little gem to visit. Father and daughter talented artist. They crafted all the emu eggs and turned them into beautiful and amazing arts 😍
A little disappointing. $5 entry pp. Small / old display - non indigenous. Would have been good if other local artists involved.
Fantastic little gem, must see going through St George
Stavros is a very talented man and we are blessed with him sharing his life and talents with us. Very humble man and always willing to answer questions. Terrific to go and see his works.
Interesting and quirky place to visit if you're in St George. The artist Stavros was friendly and talkative. He's a very unique talent. The exhibit is small but very impressive and worth a look for a small cover charge. He is happy for you take photos.
Magnificent is the word and what a talented person, I've never seen anything like it and won't again well worth $5 for a look and highly recommend it
Amazing place and well worth the visit Stavros is an incredible man and loves to share his stories Eggs are amazing works of art Highly recommended

An excellent little winery with a relaxed vibe. Free tasting and a chilled out garden area to sip a glass (or two) after tasting. The service was excellent with great info about each wine. The F#@king Good Port is a bush legend. Definitely worth dropping in when you are in, or passing through St George, Queensland.
Had a lovely time once again at Riversands. Our host was very helpful and had a great knowledge of the wines on offer. We had a nice lunch of Frittata and Greek salad. Highly recommend a visit. The muscat goes perfectly while sitting around the campfire.
Wow great wine, was surprised with there selection of white/red wines and port on offer. Did a wine tasting, settled on a very nice bottle of sparkling Chardonnay. Had the Ploughman's lunch, and toasted ham and cheese sandwich. Outdoor garden to sit in, and pet friendly. Staff were lovely. Chilli says thanks for a nice lunch.
Great wine tasting - Didn't need to book, just walked in. Staff helpful and polite Lovely grounds and dining outdoors area. Parking was easy. Caravan accessible.
Great winery.lovely wines.great host David went out of his to make us welcome.cotton farm and winery tour was fantastic, great day out 😁🥂
This makes for a nice tour of a winery delivering table and bottled grapes. Interesting to learn about the different ways of growing, picking and processing both types of grapes. They also have a nice shop with good merchandise, and an ability to have tastings and nibbles sitting outside in a lovely setting.
Even though I did'nt purchase wine, the lunch was fabulous and reasonably priced. They had groups of coach visitors talking about their wines and taste testing of course. Lovely spot.
Had a lovely morning tea in the garden. Scones and coffee were delicious. Staff were really lovely. Pet friendly

Knowledgeable friendly staff. Clean tidy and well presented visitor centre. Lots tosee and do.
A wonderful blend of boutique and information centre. I really enjoyed the experience and the lady on duty was friendly and helpful ! Can’t wait to taste the local honey I bought. Even the toilet artwork was amazing ! Ben 13-07-2025
What a stunning region to explore! We recently spent the winter school holidays exploring the amazing towns, artesian baths and amazing friendly outback pubs. We also completed the St George Region scavenger hunt which was so much fun! A great way to find some hidden gems you may have missed otherwise and the people are so friendly and helpful! ❤️
Travelling Aussies 🇦🇺 Stopped at this lovely tourist information centre to learn about the ST George area and fill out water tank Only one tap, eight caravans waiting and has the lowest water pressure I’ve ever seen Wouldn’t hurt to have a couple of taps on either side of the carpark Yet, the biggest benefit would be gained by signing an anticlockwise traffic movement through the carpark, as caravan and motorhome fill points are almost exclusively located on the drivers side of the vehicle 👍
St George has had enough to keep us moving along checking out the Balonne River & river walk, Cotton Trail, Riversands Wines, Beardmore Dam, visit the the local Vinnies and few other stores down main street. Has Super IGA and Foodwork so stocking up on food supplies has been good...plus reasonably priced.
Worth a drop in to learn more about the area especially the history and manufacturing of cotton.
My husband & I booked the cotton farm & winery tour at the visitors centre. We weren’t disappointed, everyone should make time to do it. It was fabulous
We booked the St George Cotton Farm and Vineyard Tour from here. Comfortable air conditioned 20-seater bus, 4.5 hour tour with great commentary by Harry. Tour starts by driving through Moorook Farm, a garlic/onion/vegetable farm with lots of great information about the history of the farm and the area. Then on to the Cotton Farm where the farm owner Scott, jumps on the bus and gives an interesting talk about all things Cotton. His impressive collection of old tractors and farm machinery was a bonus. Back on the bus and off to the Riversands Vineyards where the owner David jumped on board and gave a tour of the vineyards. Wine tasting was next followed by sandwiches, cake, tea and coffee in the pretty gardens. We purchased wine, local garlic, local honey, and local grape relish before back on the bus and delivered back to our accommodation. We learned a great deal about the St George area, and would highly recommend this tour.
