TEMORA
Temora is again one of those NSW towns
that seem to have managed its future and citizens wellbeing
successfully.
The first white settlers arrived in
Temora about 1850 and when gold fever hit after 1879, the population
swelled to about 20,000 people. Once the gold boom subsided, many
miners moved out, while German settlers and a new wheat industry moved
in. Nearby Aria Park was the site, in 1916, where grain was loaded in
bulk at a railway siding for the first time in rural Australia.

The Air Museum

without doubt the key item of interest in Temora, but the town in
itself has a lot to offer.
