I have visited hundreds of country towns and no towns of this size compare with Griffith. The pride of presentation of properties, the quality of dinning and the main street shops, great events such as Salami festival and winery open nights, ability to live 2mins from your work, and either have the choice of small acerage or quiet suburbia. Employment opportunities for various skill levels. There are not many rural towns this far inland where your friends/family come to visit and there are so many things to do. The summer heat was the only draw back for me, but welcome to Australia!
The multicultureal feel to the town is also an attraction to me, so many traditions. If you find it hard to meet people here, you're not involved in the community. Get involved through Rotary, Festivals, Town Band, Churches(Presbyterian Church ROCKS!), do some volunteer work at the nursing home or joing the garden club!
So great to have a mid-week night meeting, drive down the main street and find serveral resturants still humming, you wont find that in towns twice the size! Only minutes from fishing/camping on the murrumbidgee, or water skiing at the Lake, catching yabbies in the canals! Very fond memories of our 4 years there(no we're not local and are not Italian!).
