Queensland and Darwin experience high rainfall due to their tropical climate, characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons. The wet season, influenced by the monsoon, brings moist air from the ocean, leading to heavy rains, particularly in the northern regions. Additionally, the presence of warm ocean currents contributes to increased evaporation, further enhancing precipitation. This combination of geographical location and climatic factors results in significant rainfall in these areas.
By road, the distance between Darwin, Northern Territory and Maroochydore, the heart of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, is 3,442km. Driving time without breaks is 40 hours, so it is around a five day journey.
Darwin is too wet and humid, Mount Gambier is too cold and wet, so the answer you are looking for is Kingaroy in Queensland where the climate is hot enough but not too wet.
The road distance from Brisbane to Darwin is 3422km, travelling via Longreach and Mt Isa. Travel time is an estimated 32 hours, non-stop, so should be undertaken over four days.The flight distance from Brisbane to Darwin is 2848km.
no. the dessert is really hot so it doesn't get much rain
There is so much rain in the rain forests, because they are located near the equator. This makes their temperature high enough that it results in maximum evaporation of water, causing heavy rainfall to occur.
The road distance from the Gold Coast, Queensland to Darwin, Northern Territory is 3480km, which is about 2160 miles, going via Longreach. It takes around 40 hours to drive, without breaks, so that would equate to 4 days' travel.
Because of precipitation
Cyclones; Which brings in high winds & heavy rain .
So you can see how much rain fell that day when it rained!
Not much it is a rain forest. But enough for plants to survive and to see. So when your in the woods it is about the same.

Rainforests receive a lot of rain because of their location near the equator, where warm air rises and condenses into clouds, leading to frequent rainfall. The high humidity and constant cloud cover in rainforests also contribute to the abundant rainfall.
