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. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" |
