[edit] History
Temora started as a pastoral station in 1847. Gold was discovered later in the area, and a small village established. A railway line came to Temora in 1897.
In the early twentieth century, Temora was among a number of places in New South Wales settled by people of German origin.[2]
[edit] Temora today
The Temora area has a variety of agricultural and farming industries including wheat and canola and sheep. It has the second largest honey producer in Australia.
The town is also the location for the Temora Aviation Museum, which has a large range of aircraft, including Australia's only two flying Spitfires[3][4]. The town also has a rural museum.
Temora has been reported as being the friendliest town in New South Wales, following a series of mentions in the Sydney Morning Herald's Column 8, which organised a bus trip to the town for Sydney readers in 2005. [5]
