Redlynch

Redlynch, a residential suburb, is 10 km north-west of central Cairns. It has a station on the railway to Kuranda, and Redlynch was the first stage (1887) in the construction of the line. Redlynch backs on to the Barron Gorge National Park. The origin of its name is uncertain, although Redlynch in Somerset and Wiltshire, England has been suggested.
