Towns We've Enjoyed Exploring - Qld

Injune, Queensland

July 12, 2025 /

Injune is well situated at the base of the Carnarvon Ranges, and brimming with friendly locals – it is a small town that punches above its weight.  Injune is a fantastic re-provisioning point if you are travelling north toward Carnarvon Gorge.  We recommend you stay a night and don’t just drive on through. It is a fantastic town and the locals are very friendly.

You will find the following in town:

  • a small, but well-stocked supermarket
  • roadhouse
  • pharmacy
  • post office
  • potable water and dump point
  • Visitor Information Centre
  • variety of accommodation options

There are many engaging Points of Interest, both in the town, and not far from town.  This area really has some interesting history!  We visited:

Museums – we visited both the Court House Museum and the Heritage Museum.  Both are small, however they provide a fantastic glimpse into the history of the area.

Lagoon Walk – a tranquil spot nestled amongst impressive old gum trees!  The loop walk is about 1.2 kilometres long and provides an opportunity to spot a variety of bird life.

Characters of Injune – take a stroll through town to check out stories of local characters from days gone by on story boards beside these rustic metal sculptures.

The Old Cemetery – this quiet and reflective location on the edge of town, has eleven graves of early locals who helped shape the town.  The cemetery dates from 1930 to 1976.

Historic Train Station – be sure spent some time absorbed in rail history here!  The original Injune rail station has many story boards that include some captivating images of days gone by. The C17 locomotive on display here tells its own tale.  Sadly, it was the loco involved in the 1947 Camp Mountain Rail disaster, just to Brisbane’s north.  You’ll find out more about this in one of our earlier videos https://youtu.be/P9vRFqOePQA

The Roma to Injune branch line facilitated transport of livestock, timber and other goods, subsequently boosting local economy. The railway had a pivotal role in supporting the Mount Hutton Lands Soldier Settlement Scheme, a World War I Federal Government initiative.  

Old Injune Coal Mine – opened in 1932 and a testament to Injune’s industrial past, the mine provided meaningful employment for the area.  It ceased operations in 1963.  The sparce remnants of this old mine serve as a reminder to the town’s heritage.  You will find a picnic table and a two-sided story board with a wealth of really interesting information.
