Something new...
Adore this little coffee nook in the wall in main street Temora...
Early morning coffee is a popular past-time here...
Something old...
The John Meagher & Co Building is heritage-listed...
It was built as a general merchants store in 1892 (in the opening era of the Gold Rush)
and it was the first brick store in Temora...
A large banquet was held in the upstairs part of the building to celebrate the opening of the building...
(John Meagher's first store was at Bathurst and then larger stores were later established at Temora, West Wyalong, Barmedman, Forbes, Cootamundra, Parkes and Yass.)
John Meagher was a larger-than-life figure in the 19th century...
He was not only a very successful storekeeper but a well-known politician...
Something borrowed?
When I first moved to Temora a couple of months ago, I was surprised to see no recycling bins...
There was just one large garbage bin collected weekly...
But at the back of IGA Temora is this very well-used recycling centre...
