Injune
Stop for one night, not a base: fuel, a bed and the Carnarvon Highway north. Two nights only if you are staging into Carnarvon National Park.
Injune is a town of about 460 people on the Carnarvon Highway, 91 km north of Roma and the last fuel before the turnoff to Carnarvon National Park. There is one short main street, a visitor centre, a hotel, a roadhouse and a motor inn. Travellers use it as a fuel and sleep stop on the way north or south, not as a destination in itself.

Rules in force · 7
- Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
- Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
- Australia and New Zealand ↗Both countries drive on the left, with long distances between fuel stops in the outback and on New Zealand's back roads; fatigue causes more visitor crashes than speed.
- Australia ↗Almost every visitor needs a visa or an electronic authorisation (ETA or eVisitor, depending on passport) before boarding: apply only through the official Department of Home Affairs site or the official AustralianETA app, and check the rules for your passport.
- Australia ↗Declare all food, plant material, seeds, wood and animal products on your arrival declaration; undeclared items can bring on-the-spot fines or visa cancellation. When unsure, declare it.
- Australia ↗Drive on the left. An overseas licence in English (or with an official translation or International Driving Permit) is accepted for visitors; check the state rules and your rental contract.
- Australia ↗Swim between the red and yellow flags on patrolled beaches; rip currents cause most beach drownings.

Getting around
You need a car. The town is small enough to walk end to end in about 10 minutes, but the highway, the national park turnoff and the Arcadia Valley are all outside town. Fuel up here before heading north; the next reliable fuel is a long way on.

Watch out
Safety
- Road trains use the A7 Carnarvon Highway: overtake only on long, clear straights and give them room.
- Fuel and food options are limited and can close early or on public holidays; carry water and a full tank.
- Mobile coverage outside town is patchy; download offline maps before you leave Roma.
- Summer heat and storms can close roads; check Queensland road conditions before driving north.
- Kangaroos and cattle on the road at dawn and dusk.
