My trip to Griffith over the month of June was an incredibly enjoyable experience and a vacation that I will never forget. Located in New South Wales, Australia, the city of Griffith boasts a wide range of things to see and do for both locals and tourists. Upon arriving, I opted to take advantage of a car rental so that I could easily get around the city, making my way from one place to the next without having to rely on public transportation such as daily bus services and the railway station. In addition to everyday attractions, I was also able to enjoy popular events including the Sikh Games and unWINEd, which were both scheduled during my travels.
Getting Around GriffithI knew that the first thing that I wanted to do after arriving in Griffith was of course, to explore the city. With the reliable car hire, I was able to embark on a city drive, taking in the views and some of the most exciting attractions within the area. Some places
of interest that I noticed during my car ride included the Griffith Regional Theatre where the famous Soft Sculptured Curtain can be found, the Pioneer Park Museum, Scenic Hill and more. I found that having my own vehicle to use during my travels allowed me to enjoy a stress-free vacation away from the everyday hustle and bustle of Thailand.
Griffith AttractionsI was not disappointed in the least with the many different and unique attractions that can be found within this New South Wales city. One of my favorite destinations by far, was none other than Pioneer Park. This open-air museum captures that essence of life during the 1900's. This is the perfect place to learn about early irrigation and the history of Griffith. I also opted to enjoy an afternoon picnic on the beautiful museum grounds before moving on to my next destination.Scenic Hill is a must-see for anyone traveling to
Griffith. This is the outdoor lovers paradise. Here you will find a wide variety of walking trails and lookouts. After driving up the hill, one of my favorite spots was the Hermit's Cave lookout which provides an amazing view of the city below. Another popular point of interest that you wont want to miss is Nericon Swamp which is part of the Griffith Wetlands Important Bird Area. Migratory birds can be seen here throughout the year.
Events and MoreDuring my visit, I was able to enjoy two unique events that were taking place. One annual event was the Sikh Games. This two-day event was held at the Ted Scobie Oval with a view of Scenic Hill in the backdrop. This was the perfect place to enjoy delicious Indian cuisine while watching individuals partake in various athletic events such as tug-o-war and kabbadiunWINEd in the Riverina was one of the my favorite events during my trip. Here I was able to sample some of the best wines from wineries throughout the Riverina, accompanied by regional food. Music and entertainment was provided for the whole family which made this event even more enjoyable.Overall, I would highly recommend visiting Griffith if you are looking to enjoy a laid-back holiday away from your regular everyday life.
