Mathoura /məˈθaʊərə/ is a small town in the Riverina region of southern New South Wales, Australia, in the Murray River Council local government area.

They include towns such as Echuca, Shepparton, Benalla, Corowa and Wangaratta and extend northwards to just south of Deniliquin.

However, there were others who considered a more suitable position for a village was at Hill Plain, where Mr. Stuckey had erected an inn (opened in June 1860 and managed by John Atkinson).

[11] A traveller passing through Redbank in mid-1865 stated that "Mr. Carter has established a brick public-house… situated on the bank of the Gulpa Creek".

The writer added: "I observed three or four acres fenced and stocked with fruit trees, withered and dried up".

[12] In 1865 Henry Burton, a circus proprietor, purchased the Redbank Inn; he held the licence until 1878 when it was transferred to T O'Sullivan.

[17] 1877: A visitor returning in that year noted several changes including a powerful new crane at the Redbank Railway Station, a new and commodious refreshment room adjoining the ticket office, and a drinking fountain drawing on the pure sparkling water from the Gulpha Creek.

The Redbank Saw-mills including Barbour’s supplied nearly the whole trade of Deniliquin with red-gum piles, sleepers, and building timber.

[20] 1883: John Boothman, licensee of the Railway Refreshment Rooms, Mathoura, appeared before the Moama Police Court in March 1883.

[22] In late 1906[23] and early 1907, Mathoura was the jumping-off point for the ornithologist and photographer A. H. E. Mattingley[24] on two trips to the St Helena swampland on the Edward River to the northeast of the town.

[27] Gardiner (service number 534, 14th Infantry Battalion 1st AIF), left Melbourne on HMAT Ulysses A38 on 22 December 1914.

[31] List of veterans[32] When the armistice was signed, the residents of Mathoura decided to celebrate the event by holding a monster picnic on Wednesday 20 November 1918.

The sports were preceded by a procession from the Murray Shire Chambers[33] led by the Echuca Rangers' Band under the conductorship of Bandmaster F. E. Grimwood and Private Alexander Joss, who only returned home on the previous evening.

This energy escaped by pushing up a 60km wide, 250m thick section of crust, tilting it like a hinged and partly open trapdoor.

Deniliquin and Echuca are at the northern and southern ends of the uplift with Mathoura in the middle, sitting on the high side and eastern edge of the Tilt.

The heat of the forces that lifted the crust, fused sand into striking, red-coloured rocks that gave the area its name.

The original and now empty Murray River watercourse (today called Green Gully) remains imprinted on the landscape.
