Temora Ambulance Museum

Temora Ambulance Museum A glorious collection of historic vehicles and emergency equipment has found a home at a national museum in Temora, south west of Sydney.

Located within the grounds of the Temora Rural Museum, the Ambulance Museum is a project of the Temora community supported by NSW Ambulance, among other authorities. It represents the culmination of many years' work by volunteers, including about 30 retired and serving NSW Ambulance paramedics, who have travelled thousands of kilometres to secure and preserve items of historical interest. Ambulanc

e vehicles and conveyances dating back to 1897 and originating from throughout Australia, including NSW, ACT and Victoria are showcased. The museum currently boasts over 20 ambulances, including a 1916 Overland military ambulance on loan from a private collector, which is in original, pristine condition. Also included is the only remaining horse-drawn ambulance operated by NSW Ambulance from 1897 (originally known as the Civil Ambulance and Transport Brigade), three Ashford litters and a 1938 Dodge ambulance featuring the old "ambulance cream" paintwork. Temora Rural Museum Manager, Bill Speirs, said the ambulance component represented the realisation of a long-held dream. NSW Ambulance previously established a museum out of its former headquarters at Circular Quay in 1964, before the centre of operations was relocated during the 1970s and the museum was "quietly packed away". Many items were stored at Auburn Station where they remained until Temora historians Eddie Sams and his wife Leonie, began a campaign to establish a new national museum.
