Normanton township

Sign coming into town says "Our population is small but we love them all, please drive carefully" I think the population was 300.

There are three pubs in

town which seems a bit of overkill, a big purple one where we had to turn to go to our caravan park, there are two. So the story goes Neville Shute came here and stayed at the Purple pub (National Pub)when he was gathering information when he was writing his famous "A Town Like Alice" (if you havent read it, its a good read).

There was street parade tonight getting ready for the rodeo which starts tomorrow.

Down the street is a huge croc that had been shot by a croc hunter, it was eight and half metres long.
