Download coordinates as: Cinnabar is a rural locality in the Gympie Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] The Wide Bay Highway enters the location from the north-west (Kilkivan) and exits to the south-west (Kinbombi).

Apart from the state forest, the land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some crop-growing around the creeks.

The heavy dark-red stones found contained 24% mercury in addition to copper selenide.

By 1892, mining had ceased, as mercury deposits found in other locations both in Queensland and elsewhere in Australia appeared to have greater promise.

[9] In the 1930s, there was renewed interest in mercury due to rising prices and mining resumed in the area and the Kilkivan district more generally until 1945.

It is 88 kilometres (55 mi) long and passes through Goomeri, Murgon, Wondai, Tingoora, Wooroolin, Memerambi, and Crawford.
