The Shire of Carpentaria, where the outback meets the sea, comprises Karumba (fishing port) and Normanton (administrative center), housing approximately 1,800 residents. Normanton’s key sectors are government, education, and beef; Karumba’s are fishing and accommodation. Karumba’s fishing is significant, yielding prawns and barramundi. Tourism is boosted by the Gulflander train, Normanton’s “Krys” crocodile statue, and Karumba’s Morning Glory clouds. Normanton offers diverse outdoor facilities. Both towns provide a unique, relaxed Northern lifestyle, escaping big-city stress.
