Aircraft ; Temora Aviation Museum
Temora has a rich and noteworthy aviation history having been home to the No. 10 Elementary Flying Training School (10 EFTS) set up by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in May 1941. No 10 EFTS was the largest and longest lived of the flying schools established under the Empire Air Training Scheme during World War Two (WWII).
Throughout WWII more than 10,000 personnel were involved at the school with upwards of 2,400 pilots being trained. At its peak the unit contained a total of 97 de Havilland Tiger Moth aircraft. Four satellite airfields were set up around the Temora district to cope with the demand to train RAAF pilots.
No 10 EFTS ceased operation on 12 March 1946 making it the last WWII flying school to close. Since then, Temora has continued its aviation heritage becoming the preferred airfield for a growing number of sport aviation activities including gliding, parachuting and ultra-light aircraft operations.
When Sydney businessman David Lowy expressed interest in establishing an aviation museum dedicated to aircraft and pilots who had defended Australia, Temora Aerodrome had all the attributes - rich in aviation history, hospitable people, an encouraging and co-operative local council, good weather, flat terrain and uncontrolled air space below 20,000 feet.
The museum was incorporated in late 1999. Construction of the facilities then commenced and a Governing Committee made up of a group of experienced and diverse people was formed.
The hangar facility was completed in February 2000 and David Lowy donated the initial aircraft for the collection. The museum was opened for public viewing in June 2000. In late 2000 construction commenced on the exhibition buildings, containing display space, theatrette, admission entrance, gift shop, a children's playground and picnic area. These were completed and opened to the public August 2001.
Stage Three of the Museum Complex was completed in November 2002 with the opening of a 1980 sq m. display hangar. All aircraft are housed in this new hangar with the original hangar becoming a customised restoration and maintenance facility.

Heritage Heroes: Walking the Line
Heritage Heroes is a series of short stories celebrating local heritage heroes showcasing projects funded through the NSW Government’s Heritage Near Me program. Walking the Line follows the restoration of the historic 1890s Temora Railway Precinct and the development of an interpretive walk. The film stars project manager Claire Golder from Temora Shire Council and Railway Temora volunteers Max Oliver and Rodney Kite who share their passion for the history of the railway and the revitalised precinct. The walk also explores the 1900s Pardey’s flour mill and silos, and will provide visitors with an understanding of the important role the precinct played in grain processing and transport, and the maintenance, supply, support and upkeep of steam locomotives from early 1910s to the 1960s. The site is a popular destination for both amateur and professional photographers who enjoy photographing the features of the railway station, silos and flour mill at different times of the day, and a railway museum explores the lives of locals who lived and worked on the Railway. Temora Shire Council were successful in the 2016-17 round of the Heritage Activation grants. They received $53,500 for accessibility, minor restoration works and the development of the walk.

Video commences with a look at 4846 and 4812 partaking in a fuel tanker shunt in Cowra yard, followed by an operating railway trike and Cowra railway station.
Both 48 class are now scrapped, the former having earlier been sold to Cargills to shunt their plant on Kooragang Island.
Next, we have a look at Eugowra yard. This part of the line had been closed by this time, however, it still remained pretty much the same as the day it saw its last train.
