Babinda is a small town and suburb in the Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia.It is located 60 kilometres (37 mi) south of Cairns. At the 2011 census the town recorded a population of 1,068.
The town is noted for its proximity to two of Queensland's highest mountains Mount Bartle Frere and Mount Bellenden Ker.
Babinda and Tully annually compete for the Golden Gumboot, an award for Australia's wettest town. Babinda is usually the winner, recording an annual rainfall of over 4,200 millimetres each year.
Babinda takes its name from the local Indigenous Australian language for mountain. Other sources, however, claim it is a Yidinji word for water, possibly referring to the high rainfall of the area.
Babinda State School opened on 4 November 1914.
Babinda Post Office opened by 1915 (a Babinda Creek receiving office had been open since 1891).
World War 1 memorial, Babinda, 2006
The Babinda War Memorial was unveiled by the chairman of the Cairns Shire Council Seymour Warner on 25 April 1927.

Tully FNQ - more than just Another Town Along the Road.wmv
Dedicated to memories of Tully & Mission Beach as it was in 1982 when I lived there in the Tully bottom pub (Mt Tyson Hotel) for 6 months whilst working as a banana farm hand fresh from England, mixed with pics taken in 1997 & 2008 when I returned to visit with family. There's just something about the place that sticks with you. I wrote this song on the balcony of the pub & recorded it years later with The Parwills. One for you Eric- hope you & yours are safe & sound.
Australia's Big Things (Pick of Australia's weirdest and most wonderful big stuff)
From a six metre long barramundi to the largest beer can in the world, here's the pick of Australia's weirdest and most wonderful big stuff.
1. The Big Barramundi, Normanton, Queensland
At six metres high, this fish will always be bigger than the one you caught. It was erected in honour of the fantastic saltwater fishing Queensland's north offers.
2. The Big Beer Can, Cobar, NSW
This beer can is so big, it made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 1991, putting the tiny town of Cobar on the map. It is five metres tall, but more impressive is the fact that it would fit 10,000 schooners of beer if filled - that's more glasses of beer then there are townspeople.
3. The Big Merino, Goulburn, NSW
The Big Merino was originally built over a six month period in 1985 by local tradesmen. It stood on the highway which by-passed the NSW wool town, but was moved to the Hume Freeway in 2007 to attract more passers-by. It's the biggest Merino in the world, standing 15.2 meters high and weighing in at 97 tonne.
4. The Golden Gumboot, Tully, Queensland
Bringing glitz and glam to Tully, The Golden Gumboot was given to the town in 2003 for being the wettest in Australia. It stands at 7.9 metres high, which represents the town's record annual rainfall recorded in 1950.
5. The Big Ned, Glenwrowan, Victoria
Not content with the Aussie legend, the Victorian tourist town of Glenrowan decided to build a giant Ned Kelly. Ned arrived from Sydney in 1992, and stands at six metres high.
6. The Big Lobster, Kingston, South Australia
Definitely the freakiest of the lot, Kingston's Big Lobster is 17 metres high, 15.2 metres long and 13.7 metres wide. It was opened by then-Premier David Tonkin in 1979, and also doubles as a seafood restaurant.
7. The Big Bottle, Bundaberg, Queensland
It's the drink that made the town famous, and now there's a statue to match. This Bundy Rum bottle is six metres high, and is conveniently located near the Bundaberg Rum distillery.
8. The Golden Guitar, Tamworth, NSW
The Country Music capital of Australia is also home to a massive tribute to the award's trophy - a golden guitar. Standing at 12 metres high, the Golden Guitar was appropriately opened by Slim Dusty in 1988.
9. The Big Banana, Coffs Harbour, NSW
A major tourist attraction for the coastal town of Coffs Harbour since 1964, The Big Banana stands at five metres high, is 11 metres long, and deserves a spot on this list because it was Australia's first 'big thing'.
10. The Big Pineapple, Nambour, Queensland
The Big Pineapple was erected in 1971, stands at 16 metres high, and was heritage listed by the Queensland government in 2009.
