Temora is an attractive Riverina rural service centre located 424 km west of Sydney. Originally inhabited by the Wiradjuri Aborigines, white settlement only began in 1847. Rich gold discoveries followed in 1860s together with increased bushranger activity. As the gold declined, Temora’s importance as a wheat terminal emerged and remains so today.
