Hughenden - accommodation, restaurants, things to do

Hughenden in Queensland was named by early pastoralist Ernest Henry after his grandfather's property in Buckinghamshire, England. In 1877 a township was surveyed and named after Henry's pastoral station. Hughenden is the railway junction for the lines to Winton and Mount Isa, and is the junction of the Flinders Highway and the Kennedy Developmental Road. It has a comprehensive shopping centre, a showground, a racecourse, golf and swimming venues, churches, a hospital, an information centre and a dinosaur display. Its Grand Hotel ceased trading in 2004 but is on the Queensland heritage register. An entertainment centre was built in 2002. The annual Porcupine Gorge Challenge and Mount Walker Fun Run takes place every June.
