Leeton, gateway to the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, offers diverse rural and agricultural experiences including extensive access to the Murrumbidgee River to fish, camp, canoe or just sit and enjoy its beauty.
Gogeldrie Weir is a great place to picnic and the historic mansion of irrigation pioneer, Sir Samuel McCaughey is a ‘must see’ attraction. Well-presented museums at Whitton and Yanco reflect the history of the area, experience the SunRice Centre, and inspect the Historic Hydro Motor Inn.
In the centre of the biggest wine producing region in NSW, Leeton offers visitors an opportunity to taste the award winning wines at Lillypilly Estate and Toorak Winery.
Fivebough Swamp is open year round and is famous for the diversity and abundance of waterbirds that use the wetland to feed and breed and was recognised as a Wetland of International Importance (Ramsar) in 2002.
The Visitor Information Centre is a local icon and can direct you to guided tours and presentations which explain the richness of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.
Leeton was designed by Walter Burley Griffin and features well appointed public parks, tree lined streets and an outstanding main streetscape of Art Deco architecture to make it one of the most attractive towns in Australia.
The award winning tidy town of Leeton is well worth a visit.
