It's a good stretch of road extending the 73 kilometres to Karumba, the only town right on the Gulf of Carpentaria. Although it may seem to have taken so long to get here, it's all to do with the excitement of finally reaching the end of the road and the Gulf of Carpentaria where the ‘Outback Meets the Sea’. Its very location makes Karumba an excellent place to get a 'feed' of fresh seafood including excellent prawns, for which the town is noted. Visit the Les Wilson Barramundi Discovery Centre where you will get to hand feed Barramundi. Karumba is relatively flat country, but it's the birdlife that excites. Brolga and Sarus Cranes , are in abundance throughout the winter. If you're in Karumba in August to November keep an eye out for the 'Morning Glory Cloud' a unique cloud formation that sometimes forms in the early morning. There is always the unforgettable sunsets over the ocean that is a must see, either on land or on one of the many sunset cruises that venture out each afternoon. Congratulations for making the full length of the Matilda Way you are here in Karumba enjoy your stay.
