Cherry Gully is a rural locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia. [2] In the 2021 census, Cherry Gully had a population of 18 people. [1]
The locality takes its name from a local gully name. There are a number of stories about the name of the gully. One story is that in mid-nineteenth century a cask of sherry fell from a wagon into the gully, with the word sherry being corrupted later to cherry.
