Leeton NSW

My father worked in Leeton over 50 years ago so when we were in the locality I wanted to have a look at this important rural township.

Producing stone fruit, wine, oranges and rice, this region has employment for many.

An interesting town with many Art Deco style buildings along the main shopping street. It was dotted with parks and recreation areas which I'm sure makes it a pleasant place to live and work. New housing estates are also popping up there so the economy appears to be fine.

We had our lunch  picnic at one of the parks watching lots of children playing and enjoyed our day. 

Roxy Theatre with Art Deco façade, lead light windows and interesting tiles.
War memorial is the centre of the town

Parks surround the main street

Water towers with lovely decoration
