Bellenden Kerr, in North-East Queensland has a median annual rainfall of 4048 mm. It is also the place with the highest rainfall in a single year. In 1979, 11251 mm fell at Bellenden Kerr.
Another contender for the title of highest annual rainfall is Babinda, in far north Queensland, which has an average annual rainfall of 4238mm and holds a 30-yr record for the highest annual rainfall in Australia.
According to Wikipedia, the north Qld town of Tully boasts the "highest ever annual rainfall in a populated area of Australia (7900mm in 1950) [and is] is arguably the wettest town in Australia". However, this information is outdated, as the title of wettest town keeps changing.
