Visit the historic Normanton Railway Station where you can board the legendary Gulflander, or Tin Hare, as it is affectionately known. Join a three-hour return tour on the historic Gulflander from Normanton to Critters Camp, complete with a yummy ‘smoko’ of billy tea, damper and Devonshire tea. Leaving Normanton, follow the double lane bitumen road to Karumba, described by locals as ‘outback by the sea’. Karumba was a base for the famous Empire flying boats on their trek from Australia to England, and it was a base for the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II. Today, Karumba is known for prawning, barramundi fishing, crabbing and live cattle exports – so not a bad spot to spend a few days if you love your seafood! Late afternoon, head to Karumba Point Beach, tuck into a fresh serving of ‘barra and chips’ from Ash’s Takeaway, and take your seat for a magnificent Gulf sunset.
