Kinbombi is a town and a locality in the Gympie Region, Queensland, Australia.[1][2]

History

The town takes its name from the railway station name assigned in 1902, which is derived from an Aboriginal word in the Kabi language, indicating a fight concerning a woman (gin meaning woman and bombe meaning hit).[1]

The Kinbombi State School opened on 1 June 1926 and closed on 16 September 1938.[3]
