Injune /ˈɪnn/ is a small town in South West Queensland, Australia. The town is located on the Carnarvon Highway, 92 kilometres (57 mi) north of the regional centre of Roma. A railway connected Injune with Roma from 1920 until 1966.[3] At the 2006 census, Injune had a population of 362.[1]

It was formerly a hub for cattle and dairy industries, but now serves as a staging point for expeditions to the nearby Carnarvon National Park. More recently, natural gas and timber have served as the major primary industries.

Facilities

Injune has a public library, a historical railway and team train precinct, and the Injune art space.

Henricks Park

Residents of Injune district have a lively interest in the arts, strongly supported by Bungil Shire Council's Arts & Cultural Policy [4]

Injune's local arts group, the Injune Public Space Art Group (IPSAG) is leading the development of Henricks Park.[5] opposite the Injune Information Centre.
