Cheap Flights to Griffith

What can you do in Griffith over the weekend?

Hermit’s Cave Lookout

In the early 1900s, an Italian miner travelled from Broken Hill to Griffith and set up his home on top of a hill. He lived there for decades as a hermit. While he wasn’t the most sociable man, he was fond of gardening and transformed the hill into a beautiful oasis. Today, visitors with flights to Griffith can see the cave where he once lived, his impressive garden, and a panoramic view. To visit Hermit’s Cave Lookout between your return flights to Griffith, follow the 30-minute heritage trail from Griffith Visitor Information Centre.
