When you say ‘cocktail’ cherries I am thinking you mean Maraschino cherries…to be used within cocktails.
Commercially any good supplier should stock them for various uses within the bars around the coast, if none are available locally try a Brisbane based company called Jimele.
Fairly certain for the domestic bar tender you may have trouble sourcing them from a supermarket…you may only find the Glace variety…for desserts, where the Maraschino’s are preserved in an almond flavoured syrup.
Best bet would most certainly be a good delicatessen..try the Main Beach Deli in Tedder Ave, or MBD in Broadbeach, Ferry Road Markets seem to have a deli stocking all the right things and there is also one at Paradise Point, but I have yet to visit it.
Best of luck
