Babinda , the wettest town in Australia 

Babinda is situated on the Bruce Highway, and just south of Cairns.
The town lies in the shadow of Queensland’s two highest mountains; Mt Bartle Frere (1622m) and Mt Bellenden Kerr (1593m). The appeal of the town is the rainforest surrounding the town: the beautiful, if dangerous, "The Boulders", on Babinda Creek and the Josephine Falls. Babinda is known as ‘Australia’s Wettest town’ with an average annual rainfall of around 4,500 mm (that’s 177 inches). In 1999 it recorded a record breaking 6967.7 mm (that’s 274 inches).
