As the first town planned for the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, Leeton was designed by Walter Burley Griffin - like the national capital Canberra.
21 buildings in the town are listed with the Art Deco Society of NSW, including the landmark Roxy Theatre, which has been screening movies since the 1930s.
As the heart of the New South Wales Riverina, Leeton is home to the Australian rice industry and is our country’s largest citrus-growing region.
