Griffith is not your typical backpacker destination — it is a regional agricultural city in the Riverina, deep in inland New South Wales. But for working holiday makers chasing their 88 days of regional work, it is one of the most reliable farm work hubs in the country. Surrounded by vast citrus orchards, vineyards, and stone fruit farms, Griffith produces more than half of NSW's oranges and is one of Australia's largest wine-producing regions. The town has a proud Italian-Australian heritage (over 60% of locals have Italian ancestry), which means the food and wine punch well above what you would expect from a country town of 27,000 people. It is hot, flat, and a long way from the coast — but if you are here to work, save money, and tick off your visa days, Griffith delivers.
