Saturday the 15th of August 2020 – Karumba, Queensland

Well our time in Karumba has come to an end, we leave tomorrow morning, heading east. Whilst the fishing for Susan and Andrew was not as expected, we’ve really enjoyed our time here. Maybe its the remoteness from the rest of the country which is part of its appeal, anyway it’s a very special place, that’s for sure.

From Prawns to Pelicans, “Golf in the Gulf” to Barramundi and of course the Sunset Tavern, we’ve managed to fit a lot in our 5 days here. Maybe we’ll get back here sometime but if we don’t, we’ll have fond memories of our time in the “Outback by the Sea”.

Self explanatory.
Peeling fresh local prawns for our lunch and dinner.
Pelicans on the mud flats with the tide out (a bloody long way out)!
The feeding of the Barramundi at the Barramundi centre has just been completed and the “Kites” have come down to take the food from the surface of the water. It reminded me of the Alfred Hitchcock movie “ The Birds” for those of us over 50!
Trying to bring in the big Barra!
The intrepid travellers having a last photo and drink at the Sunset Tavern.
As the suns sets, we say goodbye to “Karumba”
