Karumba, Queensland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karumba is a town in north-western Queensland, Australia, 71 km by road from Normanton and 2159 km from the state capital, Brisbane. Karumba forms part of Carpentaria Shire Council, the administrative headquarters of which is in Normanton. The town is sited at the mouth of the Norman River, and enjoys the distinction of being the only town along the southern Gulf of Carpentaria that is within sight of the Gulf itself (the Gulf's extensive tidal flats prohibits settlement elsewhere along its shore). As such, the town's economy revolves largely around fishing. The Karumba port services the Century Zinc mine as well as fishing. this beautiful sanctuary is home to many "GREATS" such as, Reyold Danger, Rob bob borb, chingaling and isaac myles and more... these great men are not only the most sexiest and intelligent people on earth but they are also highly developed in the arts of body building and in reading. the karumba bois are well renound not ontl in karumba but the whole of queensland.... The spectacular Morning Glory Cloud rolls through Karumba in the early hours of some mornings in September and October. Whilst mostly passing before dawn, it can be an awesome sight on a full moon.
