Temora = Wiradjuri land. But a German first chose the site of Temora (although the town has a name of Irish derivation); another German laid out the township.

Lake Centenary for Mother's Day...
MOTHER'S DAY - the first one I have celebrated with family in a long, long time...
Met up with my older grandsons from Wollongong...(They left Wollongong at 4am this morning to get to Temora about 8:00am)...+ step-grandson + partner...+ daughter, husband and 2 younger grandsons... for a Mother's Day to always remember...
Travelled to Temora main street Kayshe Espresso for a special Campos Coffee...We took up all the outdoor street dining area and enjoyed coffee under beautiful autumn sunlight...(I noticed passers-by looked at us and smiled...Felt good)...
Then we took time to admire the progress of my daughter's and son-in-law's new house...
And finally travelled to the magical world of Lake Centenary nearby...(The sign above appears by the lake)...The lake is man-made...It attracts power-boating, water skiing, sailing, canoeing, fishing and swimming enthusiasts and those who simply wish to spend recreational time walking or sitting by water...
We walked the 2km round the lake...Of course, I took many photos...Of course, I slowed the pace a little with my stopping and starting (taking photos)...But no one seemed to mind...
Finally, we enjoyed scones, jam and cream by the lake...A little van kiosk - 'Sugar and Spice' - parked by the lake provided the goodies...
A beautiful day in beautiful company...
