We left Georgetown on thursdaymorning and headed for Normenton. The first part of the road towards Croydon was one lane bitumen, so we had to pull over to the side quite a few times to let some roadtrains pass (55 m long !). But once near Croydon it was all nice road. From that moment on we had the car in cruise-control at 90 km/h.
We arrived in Normenton in the early afternoon en set ourselves up for one night in the caravanpark, just opposite the purple pub. Have a look at the pictures why the pub is called that way.
Fridaymorning (Anzac-day) we attended the dawnservice at the local war memorial and after a coffee we hit the road again towards Karumba. On our way out of town we passed Krys, the savannah-king. Krys was the largest crocodile in the world ever cought : 8.63 m !!! HolyDooley what a monster. The statue is a replica in its original size !
Karumba is only 70 km out of Normenton, so after an hour drive we set ourselves up in the caravanpark there. we plan to stay here a few weeks, it's BEAUTIFUL !
Karumba is a fishing town: boats, boats and boats in the caravanpark, all leaving in the early morning, returning around 1 pm, and then everybody starts to fillet their catch. We will have a go ourselves in the days to come. I will keep you informed.
By the way, the sunsets over the Gulf are very beautiful to watch with a cold drink on the errace !
