## Geography

Injune is a small town in [South West Queensland](/source/South_West_Queensland). It located on the [Carnarvon Highway](/source/Carnarvon_Highway), 92 kilometres (57 mi)north of the regional centre of [Roma](/source/Roma,_Queensland).

## History

The [Injune railway line](/source/Injune_railway_line) opened on 19 September 1916 from [Roma](/source/Roma,_Queensland) to [Orallo](/source/Orallo,_Queensland). 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.[4]

Injune State School opened on 24 October 1921.[6]
