History

A proud history intertwined with wealth and characters

A wealth of history exudes from the Temora district, harking back to the heady days of the gold rush through the industrious agricultural industry and rich business district. The richest thread throughout the years has been the characters, leaders and scoundrels who have helped create the history of Temora, a sample of which you will find detailed on the following pages.

Heritage groups and committees

Temora Shire has been divided into a number of heritage areas, with groups or committees accepting the responsibility of preserving their area's history.

Over time, various activities have taken place, specific to the area and its past. Countless hours of research has been undertaken, celebrations held, plaques installed at historic sites, and books published.

While some groups have finalised the majority of their activities, some are beginning, or are yet to embark upon the preservation of their history for our future.
