Babinda declared the wettest town in Australia in 2019
10 Jan 2020
Every year the Queensland towns of Tully and Babinda compete for the coveted Golden Gumboot, signifying the countries highest rainfall.
Tully has an average rainfall exceeding 4 metres. They hold the record for the highest ever annual rainfall in a populated area of Australia (7.93 metres in 1950).
But the nearby town of Babinda has mould growing on the buildings from the constant wet, and the highest rainfall in the region for over ten years.
