Located in the heart of the CBD, make time to stop by two iconic monuments, important to the history of the city.
The Fairey Firefly Fighter Bomber was raised as a memorial to all the men and women of the district who served their country in time of war.
The Dethridge Wheel, erected in 1957 by the Griffith Ex-Serviceman’s Club, is a memorial to the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area Pioneers. Dethridge wheels can be seen throughout the M.I.A and their purpose is to register the amount of water that enters each farm. The wheel does not pull water into farms; gravitation does that.
Both of these monuments are located adjacent to the Griffith Tourism Hub with free carparking.
