About Redlynch
Redlynch is a town and suburb of Cairns in the
Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia. In the
2011 census, Redlynch had a population of
8,645 people.
Redlynch lies along the valley created by
Freshwater Creek with the Redlynch Intake
Road being the major artery running from
north to south roughly parallel and west of
the creek.
The residential development of Redlynch
occurs along the lower slopes of the valley
(mostly 10-50 metres above sea level) while the
eastern and western sides of the suburb are
undeveloped bushland on steep slopes rising to
500-600 metres which form part of the Barron
Gorge National Park. The Kuranda Scenic
Railway winds its way up the north-eastern
slopes of Redlynch with two stations in the
suburb, Redlynch and Jungara.
