Australian Travel Photography and Writing - 1 per 24hrs and Friends of RedBubbleWhen I think of Junee, I think of the railway station. Things seem to move at a slower pace in Junee and that suits me fine. The friendly station master at the station said: “Nothing moves fast around here mate and there’s not much to do. If you like railway stations and trains, then you’ve come to the right place.” She’s right!
The Countrylink XPT service passes through here as it travels between Sydney and Melbourne. Nice blue trains that go quite fast – unlike the locals who seem to have time on their hands. Even the dogs walk slow.
If you like old buildings with exceptionally wide verandahs, come to Junee! There’s also a brilliant cafe`, which name escapes me, and a newsagency that occupies prime land. Other stuff here, too, like the Junee Correctional Centre which accommodates those rascals who haven’t paid their parking fines.
Rugby League star Laurie Daley – he with the big snoz – was born in Junee, so that’s testimony to good minerals in the local water.
Also, if you like your choo-choo trains take a peek at the Junee Roundhouse Rail & Transport Museum.

I guess it will take another 20 years for him to be considered a local !!!

My grandkids – if they live here – might be considered local by then ha! And there’s heaps to do in Junee!!! Monte Christo – allegedly the most haunted house in Australia; the Liquorice and Chocolate Factory – Australia’s only organic liquorice producer; the Broadway Museum; the Junee Roundhouse – the only 360 degree roundhouse in Australia; the Bethungra Sprial – the only 360 degree railway spiral in Australia; the wetlands; and a couple of nice walking paths around town!!!
