Junction walk leaves from Lemon Tree Flat campground, making it a convenient opportunity to strike out into the white cypress pines for a relaxing day walk. Bring your camera, swimmers and a packed lunch – there are good picnic spots along the way, and the walk approaches small beaches ideal for a summer dip. The main destination is the junction of Severn and Macintyre River. There’s also The Dungeon, a deep river gorge that becomes a churning tunnel of water after rainfall. It can be seen safely from a rocky outcrop above the river, and a one-kilometre sidetrack takes you to the top of the gorge for an even more scenic Dungeon lookout. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes. At first glance, you won’t see too many animals in the area beyond wild goats hopping up the rocky ravines. Look closer though: in the right season there are desert tree frogs, geckos and monitors, turquoise parrots, squirrel gliders and possums. The area is also well-suited to birdwatching.

When officially opened in September 1947, the New South Wales Government Railways claimed it was the "largest roundhouse in the southern hemisphere". The Junee Roundhouse, or loco, as it was called, was the last steam depot built in New South Wales and, as such, was the pinnacle of steam depot development in the state. Steam soon gave way to diesel power, and the Junee loco was accordingly modified and steam facilities removed. The main feature, the roundhouse, remains. Centred around the unique 100-foot (33 metre) turntable are two sheds and 42 tracks, including the high roads and machine shop. Today, the roundhouse is home to Junee Railway Workshop, a local company that maintains and repairs rolling stock and locomotives for hire and for other operators. Other parts of the roundhouse are occupied by the Regional Heritage Transport Association Junee - Inc., which operates a museum dedicated to local railway history on the site. In October 2022 the Roundhouse celebrated its 75th anniversary.
