Taking a Road Trip
Griffith is located on the Kidman Way touring route, the Burley Griffin Way, and is just off the Sturt and Newell Highways.
The Burley Griffin Way is NSW State Route 94 linking Canberra in the east, to Griffith in the west. The route is named after Chicago architect Walter Burley Griffin, designer of the cities of Canberra and Griffith. The route starts at Yass on the Hume Highway, and travels west through many towns and districts, capturing the fabulous diversity of agriculture and produce, and it is the shortest route when driving from Canberra to Griffith.
The Kidman Way touring route travels north–south and takes you through the heart of New South Wales, starting at Jerilderie in the south and continuing to Barringun on the NSW/QLD border. The Kidman Way is a sealed route which links with the Matilda Highway travelling north through the centre of Queensland to Longreach and beyond. This is a popular inland route offering wonderful outback scenery, history, vivid colours and big skies.
