Temora Paleface Park
We are proud to say that Temora is the town where the legendary Paleface Adios “Temora Tornado” was born. He became the “Phar Lap” of harness racing and had an amazing eight-year career.
He was dearly loved by trotting addicts throughout Australia. To celebrate this Harness Racing Champion, the town of Temora has remembered him in the form of a life-sized monument at Paleface Park in the main street of the town.
The park also has a drinking water fountain, public toilets, grassed seating areas and picnic tables. Why not stop by here the next time you come to visit us!

Two hours from Canberra, and located just north of Wagga Wagga lies the popular Canola Trail, which allows you to explore this beautiful area at your own pace.
The trail which can be travelled in one day will take you on a journey past the stunning yellow Riverina canola fields, The Temora Aviation Museum, Temora Railway Precinct and Junee Railway Roundhouse.
