When times are tough, Australians have always relied on the distinctive qualities of mateship, humour, ingenuity, courage and endurance to get us through. Known as the ANZAC Spirit, these five qualities have defined Australians ever since the first troops landed on the beaches of Gallipoli in World War I. In the current climate, were reminding Australians that we all bear these qualities within us, ready to come to the fore when we need them.

20.01.2022 Road Boss Car Rally request: Hello Liz, On Sunday 2nd October our Road Boss Rally will be coming into St George and staying overnight then departing a.m Saturda...y the 3rd. It is not a large event this year, we will have 45 vehicles along with 90 people all toll. Unlike our regular rally where we would normally organise a function and specific catering, we are not going to do that on this occasion. Rather, all our entrants will spread themselves across town and support local businesses. This helps spread the economic footprint as well as work load. Most of our people would have already booked and sorted their accommodation requirements. I would like some advice and direction regarding meal and food outlets in St George that would be operating on a Friday night and Saturday morning and how best to communicate to them that we will have a group in town who will be looking for places to eat or order meals from. I apologise for the short notice however with the ever changing world out there, it has been changing our plans considerably as we progress along. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you in due course. Kindest regards Jamie Lawson Road Boss 0427 633 098 Road Boss Rally An iconic Australian Motoring Event.

If your local business is able to offer a product or service, please send it through to us and we will promote your offering on the Buy Balonne facebook page.
