Discover Griffith
Griffith has a population of 27,086 and is located 574 km west of Sydney via the Hume Freeway and Burley Griffin Way. It’s known as ‘a little piece of Italy’ in the Riverina, and a ‘foodies’ paradise, especially if you love Italian food and culture. While Griffith is well known for it’s oranges, all sorts of produce thrives in its rich soil.
Walter Burley Griffith, famously known as the architect who designed Canberra also designed Griffith as part of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Scheme. The city became a magnet for European migrants, who settled in the region after World Wars I and II, the majority being Italian.
There’s plenty to explore, from the irrigation scheme, wineries, to the interesting heritage of Griffith at the Griffith Italian Museum?or the Pioneer Park Museum, which spans more than 40 historic buildings and details important aspects of the town’s history.
