babinda...

...a small sugar town tucked away in rainforest backdropped by Queensland's two highest mountains, Mt Bartle Frere and Mt Bellenden Ker and more often than not the winner of the 'Golden Gumboot Award' as Australia's wettest town. 

Copping an annual rainfall of around 4200mm (+165inches !) a good deal of it surges down the Babinda Creek smoothing and sculpting the Babinda Boulders.
Part of the traditional lands of the Yindinjy people the legend of the boulders is one of thwarted love between two young people, Oolana and Dyaga from different tribes.
Discovered when camping by these waters below Churichilam (Mt Bartle Frere) the couple were forced to separate and Oolana threw herself into the waters creating the boulders and foaming torrents in the creek.
Some say her spirit still inhabits the boulders searching for her lost love, drawing young travellers along the river bank to their death.

Signs along the rainforest walk that parallels the creek warn of extreme danger and many deaths and I did hear tell that most of those of those deaths have been young men....mmmmm.
