Mimosa is a rural locality in the Central Highlands Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Mimosa had a population of 23 people.[1]
The Dawson Range forms part of the locality's northern boundary and then passes through the locality until it reaches the eastern boundary, where it then forms most of its eastern and south-eastern boundary.[3] Mount Dawson (24°07′21″S 149°37′52″E / 24.1224°S 149.6310°E) is part of the range and rises to 317 metres (1,040 ft) above sea level within the north-east of the locality.[4][5]
The Fitzroy Developmental Road enters the locality from the west (Goomally) and continues north, forming most of the north-western boundary of the locality before exiting to the north (Coomoo).[6][7]
The Dawson Range State Forest is in the north and east of the locality, extending into neighbouring Coomoo and Barnard to the north and Alberta to the east. Redcliffe State Forest is in the centre of the locality.[8] Apart from these protected areas, the land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with a small amount of crop growing in the south of the locality.[8]
