Geography
Babinda is located 59.1 kilometres (36.7 mi) south of Cairns.[5]
The town is noted for its proximity to Queensland's two highest mountains Mount Bartle Frere (Queensland's highest peak) and Mount Bellenden Ker.
The Bruce Highway enters the locality from the south (Mirriwinni), passes through the town, and exits to the north (Bellenden Ker). The North Coast railway line also enters the locality from the south (Mirrinwinni), passes through the town, and exits to the north (Bellenden Ker). The locality was served by two railway stations:[6]
- Babinda railway station, serving the town (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.)[7]
- Palma railway station, once serving the north of the locality but now abandoned (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.)[7]
History
Babinda takes its name from the local Indigenous Australian language for mountain.[8] Other sources, however, claim it is a Yidinji word for water, possibly referring to the high rainfall of the area.[2][9]
Operations to build a sugar mill commenced in 1914 and support services were expanded around this (see Babinda Sugar Mill).
Babinda State School opened on 4 November 1914.[10] Initially occupying temporary premises, the school's first permanent site was 24-34 Church Street (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), now Babinda Swimming Pool and adjacent properties.[11] In 1963, it expanded to offer secondary schooling to Year 10. The school relocated to its present site in Boulders Road in 1969, although it continued to use some facilities on the old site until 1973. In 1983, the school expanded to offer secondary schooling to Year 12.[12]
Babinda Post Office opened by 1915 (a Babinda Creek receiving office had been open since 1891).[13]
The Babinda Sugar Mill opened on 15 September 1915. It closed on 23 February 2011.[14] It was the main source of revenue and economic activity in the local area. Babinda was known for historically being a “sugar town” and the Mill was described as being the “lifeblood of the town”.[15]
On 20 April 1916, the Cane Beetles March commenced at Mooliba (now Mirriwinni). It was a snowball march to recruit men into the Australian Imperial Force during World War I at a time when enthusiasm to enlist had waned after the loss of life in the Gallipoli campaign. The march began at Mooliba with 4 men, passing through Babinda, Aloomba, Gordonvale, and Edmonton, and ending in Cairns 60 kilometres later with 29 recruits.[16][17]
Babinda Presbyterian church was officially opened on Sunday 5 November 1916 by Reverend S. Mitchell.[18]
On Sunday 18 March 1917, Bishop John Heavey laid the foundation for Babinda's Catholic Church.[19] Heavey returned on Sunday 15 July to dedicate the church.[20]
On 10 March 1918, a cyclone badly damaged the town with some reports saying that no building was left standing.[21][22][23] An entire train at the railway station was blown over.[24] Both the Presbyterian and Catholic churches were "blown to pieces".[25][26]
On Sunday 16 March 1919, the new Presbyterian Church was officially opened by the Reverend Fixter.[27]
On Sunday 9 July 1922, Heavey officially opened and blessed the rebuilt Catholic church.[28]
In November 1924, fund raising commenced for a Catholic school in Babinda.[29] On 25 January 1926, the Sisters of Mercy opened St Rita's Catholic primary school, conducing classes for an initial 34 students inside the church.[30] On 8 December 1945, Bishop Heavey officially opened the new two-storey brick school building, which replaced an earlier timber building.[31][32] In 1948, it expanded to also offer secondary schooling, but, due to low enrolments, closed the secondary schooling in 1951.[30]
The Babinda War Memorial was unveiled by the chairman of the Cairns Shire Council Seymour Warner on 25 April 1927.[33]
The Babinda Parish of the Roman Catholic Apostolic Vicariate of Cooktown (now the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cairns) was established in 1934.[34]
The Babinda Public Library building opened in 1955.[35]
In March 2006, Babinda was struck by Cyclone Larry, damaging up to 80% of buildings.[36]

Climate
Babinda has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with humid and persistently wet weather. It is well known and recognised as the wettest town in Australia, with an annual average rainfall of 4,279.4 millimetres (168.48 in). Monthly totals over 1,000 millimetres (39 in) are not uncommon, and sometimes, usually between January and April, whole months will go by without a single sunny day.
The wet season lasts from December to May, while the 'dry season' occurs from June to November. During the wet season, heavy monsoonal downpours occur almost daily and occasionally even heavier rain from tropical lows or cyclones occurs. Rainfall still totals well over 100 millimetres (3.9 in) a month during the dry season; however, it is usually in the form of coastal showers, which can range from 1 or 2 millimetres (0.039 or 0.079 in), to brief downpours of 100 millimetres (3.9 in) or more. Thunderstorms with dangerous lightning and damaging winds can be a threat from October to December; however, this threat decreases when the monsoon begins to take over in January.
