The Gemfields is a former locality in the Central Highlands Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, The Gemfields had a population of 1,449 people.[1]
On 17 April 2020, the Queensland Government re-drew the boundaries of localities within the Central Highlands Region by removing the locality of The Gemfields in order to create three new localities of Rubyvale, Sapphire Central and Anakie Siding (around the towns of Rubyvale, Sapphire, and Anakie respectively).[3][4][5]
