Griffith NSW

A small city designed by Burley Griffin. Much of the Italian Heritage can be seen around town in the shops, restaurants and other businesses.

Griffith seems to be surrounded by vineyards and orange groves although does produce many other fruits and vegetables.

We toured the shops, tasted the wine and generally relaxed in the quiet caravan park. Had our only day of rain so far this trip so we have been fortunate at this time of year.

Main Street Griffith...very quiet on a rainy Sunday afternoon

Orange trees that go on forever

Ripening fruit heavy on the trees

Time and money spent in here...

Part of De Bortoli's huge vineyard and winery

Vines to the horizon

Memorial to the pioneers of irrigation which is the
foundation of  this area and helped turn Griffith from
a desolate area to a fertile productive land

Donald MacKay, murdered by the mob  because
 he actively opposed drugs.

is for good men to do nothing"
