Discover a Great Weekend in Junee & Temora
There’s something wonderfully rewarding about a weekend in the Riverina. The pace softens, the roads open up, and every town seems to have its own story to tell. From charming local markets and community events to rich history and country racing, this weekend in Junee and Temora offers the perfect excuse to explore a little more.
For guests staying at The Crossing Motel and visitors dining at Roundhouse Restaurant, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the region and experience the warmth of country hospitality.
A Sunday Stroll at the River & Wren Markets
If your ideal Sunday includes browsing market stalls, meeting local makers, and soaking up a relaxed country atmosphere, the River & Wren Markets are well worth adding to your plans. Running from 10am to 2pm on Sunday, the markets offer a lovely way to spend the morning, whether you’re searching for handmade goods, local treasures, or simply enjoying the lively community spirit.
It’s the kind of outing that captures the best of regional travel — friendly faces, local flavour, and plenty of reasons to slow down and enjoy the moment.
Sweet Stops and Local Flavour
This weekend is also shaping up to be a big one for Bidgee Strawberries & Cream, a local favourite for those who enjoy a sweet treat while exploring the district. A visit here is a delicious addition to any Riverina road trip and a reminder that some of the best travel experiences are often the simplest — fresh produce, local passion, and flavours that feel unmistakably tied to the region.
Community Spirit on the Fairways
On Saturday 14 March, the Junee Golf Club will host an Ambrose event for Mental Awareness Day, combining sport, connection, and community support in a beautiful country setting. Events like this reflect the heart of regional towns — where people gather not only to enjoy themselves, but to support meaningful causes and one another.
For visitors, it’s a chance to see local life at its most genuine and welcoming.
Bowls, Competition, and Country Hospitality
Looking ahead, the Junee Jokes Bowling Club begins its Pennants competition on Tuesday, with teams from near and far coming together for a week of competition and camaraderie. We wish all local and visiting teams the very best.
Bowling pennants are a wonderful part of country sporting culture, bringing visitors into town and adding to the friendly buzz that makes weekends and special events in regional communities so enjoyable.
Step into Temora’s Story
A short drive away, Temora offers visitors another reason to make a day of it. On Saturday 14 March, the Bundawarrah Centre & Cultural Precinct will host Live Hands on History!, an open day running from 9am to 4pm.
This is more than a museum visit — it’s an immersive experience where history comes to life through demonstrations, exhibits, and interactive displays. For families, history lovers, and curious travellers, it’s a memorable way to connect with the stories, people, and heritage that have shaped the region.
An Exciting Finish at the Temora Greyhounds
Then on Sunday 15 March at 5pm, the spotlight turns to the Temora Greyhounds for the G3 Temora Cup Final. With the anticipation of finals day in the air, it promises to be a lively and entertaining afternoon out.
For visitors looking to experience another side of country town life, the Greyhounds offer excitement, atmosphere, and a chance to join locals in one of the region’s classic social outings.
