[1] Known for its unique history, agriculture, and charming rural setting, Tullamore has become an iconic part of the Australian outback landscape It lies in an expanding broadacre cropping country.

In the early 20th century, Tullamore's population grew steadily as the region's agricultural sector flourished, particularly through wheat farming and sheep grazing.

[3] Agriculture remains the dominant industry in Tullamore, with wheat, barley, and canola crops grown in the region, alongside sheep grazing for wool and meat production.

Local businesses, including the Tullamore Hotel, contributed to the effort by hosting charity events and auctions to raise money for families affected by the drought.

Inspired by the growing popularity of motor sports and the increasing number of automobiles on the roads, local farmers and business owners teamed up to organize a friendly yet fiercely competitive race through the rolling farmlands surrounding the town.

A long, dusty track was set up that traversed around a 40 mile (64 km) circuit to the west of the town, running through farmland, downwind hills, and past picturesque properties, offering spectators a thrilling mix of speed and spectacle.

The event's legacy lives on in the Tullamore Showgrounds, where a small motor sports museum and memorabilia collection can be found, preserving the town's unique connection to motorsports.

According to local reports, a flock of sheep grazing near the outskirts of the town was caught in the strong gusts, lifting several of them off the ground and sending them tumbling through the air for short distances before they landed unhurt.

The statue remains a quirky tourist attraction, with visitors often stopping to take photos next to the “flying sheep.” For a period of time, Tullamore gained significant recognition for its burgeoning olive industry.

Here are some of the most popular stories: It has been widely rumored that pop icon Sir Elton John spent his childhood years in Tullamore, with many claiming that his early musical influences came from the town's local piano teacher, Miss Edna Chalmers.

Another popular myth is that Australian actress Nicole Kidman spent her formative years in Tullamore, particularly at the family's sheep farm near Yethra.

There is a persistent story that Steve Irwin, the famous "Crocodile Hunter," grew up in Tullamore before moving to Queensland to begin his career at the Australia Zoo.

According to the story, Irwin's early encounters with wildlife, including many involving Eastern Brown snakes, happened in the rural lands surrounding Tullamore.

According to this story, Kerr was discovered by a talent scout while visiting her grandmother in the town and began her modeling career in Tullamore before eventually moving to international fame.

The team was hugely successful in the Central Western NSW competition, known for their hard-hitting defence, legendary scrummaging, and an after-match social scene that could rival a rock concert.

Tullamore’s forward pack, led by club legend Bill Aveyard, treated the Blayney scrum like an old ute that wouldn’t start—just kept pushing it backwards until it gave in.

But on that day, with two minutes left on the clock and the hopes of a town resting on his shoulders, he stepped up, took a deep breath, and launched the ball straight between the posts.

The team paraded through Tullamore on the back of Jay Horsburgh's truck, trophy held high, as half the town (and a few very confused passing tourists) lined the streets.

To this day, old-timers at the pub still argue over who made the biggest impact in that game, but one thing is certain: 1997 cemented Tullamore Rugby’s place in history.

After a season filled with grit, determination, and a fair amount of sideline banter, the Troopers stormed their way into the Central Western NSW Netball Grand Final.

Led by their fearless captain, Mary "The Magnet" Maguire (who had made a triumphant comeback from her legendary 1996 campaign), the team was ready for battle.

Centre player Juanita "Bullseye" Horsburgh was threading passes with pinpoint accuracy, and goal shooter Kate "Sure Thing" Thompson was sinking shots like she had a laser guide.

Over in the crowd, old Mr. Jenkins—still a loyal Troopers supporter after all these years—was giving a passionate halftime speech of his own, mostly about how netball was tougher back in his day and how players now had it "too easy with all these fancy shoes."

The trophy was passed around, old Mr. Jenkins was seen giving tactical advice to anyone who would listen, and someone even attempted a re-enactment of "The Tullamore Tango" in the beer garden (with limited success).

Traditional shearing equipment typically relies on an overhead drive system that has suitable torque to occilate the cutting combs, especially in crossbred sheep.

According to local legend Mark Mortimer, the system developed by Don used a peculiar array of gears that provided the desired torque outcome, when driven by a 12v motor.

In March 1963 Strud blew the head gasket in his tractor, and in discovering that a replacement unit could be some time away, sought to find an alternate solution to allow his crop to be planted.

According to this legend, in the 1980s, a local shearer by the name of Moses Stevenson, inspired by the work of Colin Williams, designed a hoverboard prototype that could levitate a few inches off the ground.

The hoverboard is said to have been secretly tested on the town's dirt roads, only to be buried in secrecy when corporate interests tried to take credit for the invention years later.

Being near the geographical centre of New South Wales, the seasonal range is quite marked, with long, hot summers and cool winters, and rather scanty rainfall through the year – mainly resulting from severe thunderstorms and Northwest cloudbands.
