Liquid Mercury Spill in Cunnamulla, Queensland, Forces Town Sites to Be Cordoned Off

Authorities in south-west Queensland are working to assess and clean up liquid mercury that has spread across Cunnamulla after children discovered vials of the chemical at the local tip and took them to school. Multiple sites including the state school, hospital, service station and private homes remain cordoned off, with specialist equipment now on site to measure contamination levels.
