Babinda township itself is like most little Sugar Farm Towns it's laid back and most the people are as genuine as they come........ also we live up in Edmonton and every once in a while we go down to the Babinda State Hotel Chinese Restaurant....... it's a little restaurant in the dining room of an old country pub and its a bloody hidden gem......... best Chinese meals outside.... China.
Like others have said, Babinda surely represents the wet tropics, and the Russel and Mulgrave Rivers merge just up the road and head out to sea....... just out from the mouth you'll find the Russel Island and a few others........ and behind Babinda is Mount Bartle Frere and i'm pretty sure it's the highest Mountain in Qld, covered in rainforest and not often you can see the entire mountain as the top usually disapears into rain clouds.......... come to FNQ mate, chill out and slow right down, it's all good.
