Griffith combines broad irrigated farmland with a strongly Italian-Australian food culture in a way that reflects its place in the Riverina’s Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area. Water drawn from the Murrumbidgee River supports the district’s vineyards, citrus groves and farms, while Lake Wyangan lies just north of the urban centre. The city’s distinctive radial street plan was designed by Walter Burley Griffin, and generations of Italian migrant families have helped shape its wineries, cafés and food traditions. Griffith is also a useful base for tasting Riverina wines and exploring the agricultural country of inland New South Wales.
