Retired firefighter and cabinet maker Chris Berry has spent the last three decades collecting firefighting memorabilia and displaying it in the Coolamon Fire Museum. Equally impressive is Chris' own knowledge of each item in his formidable collection.

City/town information

The first inhabitants of the Temora region were the Wiradjuri People who lived a modest life off the land. They were followed by settlers who leased large tracts of land for grazing and selectors who bought smaller acreages for farming. Temora Gold Field was proclaimed on 4th June 1880 and within five weeks there were around 15,000 prospectors on the field. The gold rush petered out within the decade and was followed by the building of a thriving agricultural industry of wheat and wool that really blossomed after the arrival of the railway. Temora Shire is home to many beautiful historic buildings. A stroll through Temora using the self-guided tour brochure is truly a trip back in time. Browse through the brochure "Last Drinks from Long Gone Hotels around the Temora Shire" to visit the sites of Temora's original pubs and drop into the existing hotels for a schooner and a snapshot of local history.

Ariah Park is a beautifully preserved 1920's heritage village. Coming into existence in 1850, in a district first settled by big grazing interests, the village of Ariah Park really sprang to life with the arrival of the railway in 1906. The peppercorn trees were planted in 1917. The still-standing wheat silos were built in 1919. A bronze statue of a wheat lumper added in 2016 provides a fitting memorial to the community's role as the birthplace of bulk grain haulage in Australia. "Second Glance" is a quaint community centre and "Echoes of Ariah Park" provides a glimpse of 1920s living tucked away in modern rural Australia. Visit the Ariah Park Hotel, Ariah Park Bowling Club or the Ariah Park White Rose Cafe for dining.
