Babinda QLD @ ExplorOz

Babinda is usually the winner, recording an annual rainfall of over 4200 millimetres each year.
Babinda was hit hard by Cyclone Larry in March 2006. The category five (Australian scale) storm damaged 80% of the town's buildings, including the town's historic movie theatre and iconic coffee shop "Yum Yum's". Sugar cane crops and banana plantations in the region were decimated. At least twenty homes were completely obliterated down to their concrete foundations, their debris causing significant damage to other buildings. Vegetation, often full-sized tree trunks weighing some one to two tons, were ripped from nearby forest and flung into buildings by the winds.
