The Balonne River and Maranoa River are the two main catchments in the Maranoa. The Warrego Highway , Carnarvon Highway and Balonne Highway are the major road routes across the region. The main towns are Roma , Condamine , St George and Goondiwindi .[3]
Agriculture is the dominant industry of the Maranoa. The traditional agriculture is sheep and cattle grazing suitable for the rangeland landscape and sub-tropical climate of the region.
