Welcome to the Junee Shire Council Website

A town built when people travelled by rail, walked to the shops and strolled on Sundays, Junee captures the beauty and history of rural Australia and combines this with modern facilities, fine dining and great attractions.

Junee surprises with its charming town square, imposing homes and delightful attractions. Once a busy and important rail junction, the town of Junee is full of pleasant and interesting diversions, from the haunted halls of Monte Cristo mansion, to the sweet satisfaction of the Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory and the rail buffs' paradise that is Junee Roundhouse.

Built around the romance of the big-wheelers, the express trains linking Sydney and Melbourne, Junee sits in the middle of some of the most productive cropping country in NSW. A comfortable 5 hour drive sees you in Sydney or Melbourne.Just 60km from the Hume Highway midpoint at Gundagai, and 30km from Wagga Wagga, Junee is an easy escape on any itinerary.

For the visitor, Junee steps out of the country town mould and provides a unique experience, courtesy of its legacy as a busy rail and transport junction, and its location in the rich farming lands of the eastern Riverina.
