Temora - Temora

Temora is in the Riverina, South West New South Wales. The district is an agriculture showcase with grain and livestock dominating the landscape to the far horizons. Its not only the gold rush history and the historic Edwardian and Federation architecture which will enthuse history buffs. Classic country villages such as Ariah Park, once known as the town of Wowsers Bowsers and Peppercorn trees and the place of the first bulk wheat haulage, will remind you of how things used to be.

Venture back in time when you visit the Temora Rural Museum, showcasing Sir Donald Bradman's first home, an extensive agriculture machinery display and

rock and mineral collection, including a replica of the largest gold nugget to be mined the 'Mother Shipton'. Temora also played a significant role in the

aviation history of Australia. It was there that the RAAF established No 10 Elementary Flying Training School in May 1941. The Temora Aviation Museum

has one of the finest collections of flying historic aircraft in Australia. The museum hosts flying weekends once a month, where a selection of the aircraft

take to the skies.

Name your addiction, Temora is a sports-mad community with excellent sporting facilities for numerous sports including 22 hectare Lake Centenary which

plays host to the fishing and water sporting enthusiasts. The newly refurbished Olympic sized pool is a must on those hot sunny days. Try a punt on the

harness racing or a photograph beside the life-size statue of Paleface Adios. Watch the local footy, dare to skydive, or spend a day at the Temora Golden Gift.
