Karumba

This township is 70 kms away from Normanton and we took a drive there to see the sea and also try the barramundi. Normanton is the barramundi capital of Australia apparently but the best place to get it cooked is Ashe's at Karumba.

This was the sea and although not showing here, there were a lot of boats out, we watched a few being pulled in.

Our Barra and wedges. A piece of barra was $9, it was worth it, even the batter was good, pretty fine and light. The cafe only served their meals in wrapped paper, saves a lot of work for them and they were really busy. After we had to walk on the beach to walk off lunch. It was very shelly, crushed shells in the sand.

Driving back we saw a mob of horses running along the road.

They were strung out along the road but were not being driven, there had been a ute in front of them and a helicopter in the air, we assumed that they knew where they were going. There was a set of stockyards in town with a heap of cattle and some horses and stockmen. Only four in the photo but there was about fourteen altogether. We also saw lots of brolgas but too far away to get pics.
