HISTORIC ‘JEWNEE’Junee started as a pastoral lease called the ‘Jewnee Run’. The town prospered in the gold rushes from the 1860’s to the 1880’s and developed rapidly when the Sydney to Melbourne railway line arrived in 1878. The wealth of that time is reflected in the many grand buildings that still stand today. The name originates from the Aboriginal word meaning ‘speak to me. TODAY’S JUNEEMajor traffic areas have recently been upgraded and policies put in place to encourage business and rural landholders to participate in Junee’s metamorphosis from ‘historic town’ to ‘modern convenient lifestyle centre’. Preserved historic buildings and modern new infrastructure are enjoyed by both residents and visitors to the shire. The construction of a new recreation and aquatic centre is a reflection of the town’s sporting interests and prowess, bringing enormous benefit to the people of Junee and surrounding district. |
