Junee

Junee is a smallish town in southern NSW but one that has always interested me due to it’s railway history. Being situated midway between Sydney and Melbourne, it used to be a major railway centre, a hub for various branch lines and a welcome staging post for weary train travellers.
In Junee’s heyday in the 1890s, the town boasted 4 or 5 large hotels and an extravagant railway station, all of which are still standing and well maintained, as is the one in the blip which is now a museum.
It is still an agricultural centre but with the modernisation of the railway and the closure of branch lines, the town has shrunk considerably but with all the 19th century architecture, it still maintains its character.
Now we’re back home in Blackheath.
