Citrus fruit lovers… Did you know? 🍊🍋

Riverina is Australia’s largest citrus growing region, producing a third of its citrus and the largest amount of orange juice.

Those who have visited Griffith during Spring, may have had the opportunity to experience the bright, colourful and festive annual Griffith Spring Fest that features orange sculptures created by local businesses within the community.

Citrus is a big and well celebrated part of our region!
