Trains are an amazing engineering revolution of their time, and if you want to....
Junees's history and heritage is truly something that is inspiring. From when it first....
If there’s one thing that everyone loves its chocolate. Junee’s Licorice and Chocolate....
Nothing’s quite like Junee for the many wonderful outdoor and adventure activities our shire has to offer.
Founded in the glory days of the New South Wales Government Railways (NSWGR) and now home to some of the state’s most fitting tributes to those grand old locos, Junee happily combines old world charm with its modern lifestyle and culture. Why not take a walking tour and discover Australian history, through Junee.
The 1947 built Junee Railway Roundhouse is the largest continually operating railway roundhouse in the Southern Hemisphere, located at the half-way point on the Main Southern Railway line between Sydney and Melbourne, it continues to play an important role in servicing and maintaining locomotives that pass through the region, as well as preserving the history of the railways’ presence in Junee.
