Georgetown and Normanton, June 30- July 2 and Karumba, July 2-5

We went fossicking in Mount Surprise and the girls enjoyed looking for shiny topaz in the bucket of wash. The owner of the place even offered Nina and Annabelle some more gemstones.

In Normanton we had a look at the statue of a big crocodile named Krys, that is nearly 9 meters long. Scary monster of a croc but Manfred doubts that it is a life size replica.

After all that driving we decided to spend some time at Karumba,  in the gulf of Carpentaria. This is a fisherman's heaven and there are many people staying for 3-4 months, essentially spending "winter" up there.
We camped right next to the fish cleaning table and saw some good sized fish.
In Karumba there is a barramundi farm,  a community project to restock fish.
On Saturday night, a free barramundi BBQ was held at the caravan park and there were loads of people. It’s on every Saturday and there is also a little show called red faces where everyone is free to participate.
Our neighbors, an elderly couple from Geelong, were very nice and Louise, the lady, entertained the girls and even allowed them to call her "Oma" (granny). They had fun.
Louise offered us a lot of fish, which was very kind.

We caught up with our Canadian traveling mates in Karumba, which was great. We went for dinner at the sunset tavern and enjoyed a nice sunset too. What a nice setting it was!
