Temora (/təˈmɔːrə/)[3] is a town in the north-east of the Riverina area of New South Wales, 418 kilometres (260 mi) south-west of the state capital, Sydney.

In September 1880 he told the Warwick Argus: I took up the country for a sheep run in 1847, my sole companion being Valentine Lawler, who was then lessee of a station ('Nimbi') on Cunningham Creek.

[5] Alternatively, in the Celtic language it is derived from a term which means "an eminence commanding a wide view."

Temora is located in north eastern end of the Riverina region of NSW and is also part of the South West Slopes.

Temora has a warm temperate climate, with cool, damp winters and hot, dry summers.

[7] Winters are cool to cold by Australian standards (though typical of western New South Wales), with the mean maximum temperature falling to 13.0 °C (55.4 °F) in July, and the mean minimum 2.1 °C (35.8 °F); with modest overcast periods through the winter.

[13] In the early twentieth century, Temora was among a number of places in New South Wales settled by people of German origin.

[citation needed] Much of the industry within Temora is to support these agricultural activities, including grain and wool storage and brokerage, agricultural equipment suppliers and servicing, chemical and fertiliser suppliers and transport.

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.

Located in the rural museum is a cottage of hardwood slabs that was Sir Donald Bradman's first home, a one-room public school, bush church, country dance hall, printing works, flour mill, ambulance station and fire station.

The school is located in the centre of town adjacent to Callaghan Park, the basketball stadium and swimming pool.

[23] Temora West Primary School was officially opened on 25 September 1959 by the Governor of N.S.W, Sir Eric Woodward.

Burley Griffin Way links Griffith to the Hume Highway north west of Yass.

[13] The station had a traditional role as a transfer point for passenger services to Hillston, Lake Cargelligo, Rankin Springs, Burcher and Naradhan, most of which were withdrawn in the late 1970s.

Temora Airport can handle aircraft from light single-engine planes to narrow-body airliners such as the Boeing 737.

The distribution area includes Temora, Coolamon, Ariah Park, Ardlethan, Barmedman, Ganmain, Marrar, Stockinbingal, Barellan and Quandialla.

Facing the retirement of three of its eight doctors, the town came together to produce a video appeal for replacements, entitled the 'Great Quack Quest'.
