Population is about 5,000 in the town and immediate surrounds and about 7,000 in the council area. The country is chiefly wheat and grazing with plenty of good large outlanding paddocks. Areas to the South can be a bit more variable with different heating effects, particularly in the vicinity of the Murrumbidgee River. Paddocks in some of the river flat areas tend to be a bit smaller and there is also the Wagga MBZ to avoid. All in all some interesting flying can be experienced in these areas.
Thermals usually remain until quite late with flights often finishing near last light.
The airfield at Temora is walking distance to the northwest of town. There have been several significant improvements over recent years such that people who have visited more than a couple of years ago will hardly recognise the place. Both runways have been widened and a huge tie down area has been provided. The clubhouse has been extended with new entry foyer, office and store room areas, toilets and an upper deck providing an outstanding venue for the official time keepers and finish line radio operators. In addition, the caravan park on the airfield has been developed with a new amenities block including laundry and a large grassed area for the tent brigade.
