Junee, Railway town in Riverina district, New South Wales, Australia.

Junee stands among wheat fields and sheep farms, located 470 kilometers southwest of Sydney, maintaining its position as a regional transportation center.

The town emerged in 1863 as Jewnee Junction, developing into a significant railway hub with the construction of the Great Southern Railway line in 1878.

The name originates from the Wiradjuri Aboriginal language, with the town lands traditionally belonging to this indigenous group before European settlement began.

The Junee Railway Roundhouse and Museum displays extensive collections of railway artifacts and restored locomotives, offering daily guided tours for visitors.

Monte Cristo Homestead, constructed in 1884, functions as both a museum and accommodation facility, featuring Victorian-era architecture and period furnishings.
