Karumba - 22.09.2012 to 23.09.2012

Karumba is on the Gulf of Carpentaria as far as you can go and is predominantly a fishing and prawning town. There is also great wetlands in this area and a great opportunity to see many of the brolgas in the area.

We only spent one night in Karumba, because seriously that is all we thought it needed. Why people come to this place for about 3 months is beyond me. Yes the fishing may be good (barramundi) but seriously how much fish can a person eat? It did have a lovely bistro up the road, a favorite amongst locals and travellers to watch the sun go down as you feast on your meal (with a serious menu of over 20 main meals). So all we can say is that we have been here, I don't think we will bother going all that way again.

the beach, where there is no way I would go swimming

Heading out of Karumba we stopped along the way to watch the brolgas in the area who come there to mate. Apparently they keep the same mate for life.
