'''Injune''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɪ|n|dʒ|uː|n}} is a rural town and [[Suburbs and localities (Australia)|locality]] in the [[Maranoa Region]], [[Queensland]], Australia.<ref name=qpnt>{{cite QPN|16701|Injune|town in Maranoa Region|access-date=20 July 2021}}</ref><ref name=qpnl>{{cite QPN|47430|Injune|locality in Maranoa Region|access-date=20 July 2021}}</ref> In the {{CensusAU|2021}}, the locality of Injune had a population of 429 people.<ref name=Census2021/>

==Geography==
[[File:Injune, Queensland.jpg|thumb|left|Aerial view of Injune, June 2017]]
Injune is a small town in [[South West Queensland]]. It located on the [[Carnarvon Highway]], {{convert|92|km|mi}}north of the regional centre of [[Roma, Queensland|Roma]]. A railway connected Injune with Roma from 1920 until 1966.<ref>[[Australian Railway History|Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin]], December 1973, pp266-286</ref>

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.

==History==
Injune, perhaps the most plausible, derives name from Ingon, an aboriginal word in reference to a species of flying squirrel or sugar glider common to the area.

The [[Injune railway line]] opened on 19 September 1916 from [[Roma, Queensland|Roma]] to [[Orallo, Queensland|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.{{Citation needed|date=December 2021}}
