Mount Bartle Frere
Located in Ngadjon Country in the Wooroonooran National Park's Bellenden Ker Range, around 12 kilometres west-southwest of Babinda, 52 kilometres south of Cairns and 28 kilometres northwest of Innisfail, Mount Bartle Frere (Ngadjon: Chooreechillum) is Queensland’s highest peak.
On 30 September 1873, George Elphinstone Dalrymple named the mountain after Sir Henry Bartle Edwards, 1st Baronet Frere (1815-1884), President of the Royal Geographical Society (London) and a colonial administrator in India and South Africa. Bartle Frere had been the Governor of Cape Colony at the outset of the Zulu Wars.
The summit of Mount Bartle Frere, when it is not covered in cloud, offers views across the coastal lowlands and the Atherton Tablelands, with the first ascent by a European made by Christie Palmerston in 1886.
Although there is no rain gauge on the mountain, based on data at nearby Mount Bellenden Ker, the average annual rainfall would be around 8,000 millimetres, with an estimated maximum as high as 17,000 mm. Calculations based on lowland data from Innisfail, Cairns and Port Douglas suggest daily rainfalls could have been as high as 2,000 mm during a cyclone in 1911.
