Injune is a small town in western Queensland, Australia. The town is located on the Carnarvon Highway, 92 kilometres (57 mi) north of the regional centre of Roma. At the 2006 census, Injune had a population of 362.[1]
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, gas and timber have served as the major primary industries.
[edit] Henricks Park
Residents of Injune district have a lively interest in the Arts, strongly supported by Bungil Shire Council's Arts & Cultural Policy [3]
Injune's local Arts group, the Injune Public Space Art Group (IPSAG) is leading the development of Henricks Park.[4] opposite the Injune Information Centre.
Henricks Park's monumental sandstone infrastructure is under construction. When completed, it will become one of regional Queensland's outstanding tourist attractions, dramatically siting locally-produced artworks.
