History and Geography Facts
The Injune railway line opened on 19 September 1916 from Roma to Orallo. It was extended to Injune, opening on 30 June 1920. The last train left Injune on 31 December 1966 and the line closed from 1 January 1967. Although there was still considerable grain traffic, maintenance costs for its many bridges made the line unviable. The line and facilities were completely dismantled by mid 1968.
Injune is a small town in South West Queensland. It located on the Carnarvon Highway, 92 kilometres (57 mi)north of the regional centre of Roma.
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.
