A little history of Injune - Queensland
History ( courtesy of the visitors centre )
What a colourful History we have! Here is a very brief summary…
1844
Dr Ludwig Leichhardt crossed the Dawson River near Taroom on November 6 1844. He named the river after R. Dawson of Black Creek in the Hunter River district. Local history has it that there stood a huge Bon tree at the junction of Injune Creek and Horse Creek. This was about two miles north of the Mt Hutton homestead on the road through to ‘Westgrove’ and ‘Merivale’. This tree is said to have borne the inscription ‘Leichhardt in June’ and a date which was indecipherable. Unfortunately the tree has been washed away. Some believe this to have been the last trace of Leichhardt. Others believe it is how Injune got its name.
1846
Major Thomas Mitchell described the Mt abundance area as “the finest country I have ever seen”. Some claim he traveled on to name Mt Hutton after an English Geologist, James Hutton.
1852
William Hutton took up the original pastoral run, ‘Mt Hutton’, the name which he also gave to the peculiar peak in the Great Dividing Range. The head station was situated on Highland Plains Creek and the total area comprised 660 square miles.
1858
After subdivision, the Ingon Creek area of the Hutton lease passed to two brothers, William O’Grady Haly and Charles Robert Haly of “Taabinga Station” in the South Burnett District. The Haly’s called their station “Ingon”.
We understand the Kongabula aborigines used the word “Injon” (or perhaps “injon”) to refer to the Sugar Gliders or small Flying Possums which are not uncommon in the area today. How or when the spelling was changed to “Injune”, we do not know. However, Landsberg’s map of Queensland published around 1860, showed “Injon Creek”.
1863
Mr John Collins purchased part of Mt Hutton which he named “Westgrove”.
1880
A petition was launched by Roma residents for the establishment of a separate Board to include the Roma township and a large area of land surrounding the town’s boundaries. The petition was found successful and hence resulted in the subsequent gazetting of the Bungil Divisional Board in May.
1886
The Artesian water basin was discovered and this resulted in numerous bores being sunk throughout the Shire.
1903
The Bungil Divisional Board was abolished and the Bungil Shire was proclaimed.
1914 – 1919
During WWI, a large area of land was resumed from the large station holdings of Mt Hutton, Myall Downs, Bymount, Gubberamunda and Cornwall. This land was cut into blocks ranging in area from 640 to 1280 acres and opened for selection.
A Soldier Settlement scheme was established in the Injune-Gunnewin-Bymount area in 1919 by the Government. Land adjacent to and in reasonable distance of the proposed railway line being built from Roma to Injune was allotted to Returned Service men from the War.
