"Aye Karumba" - Bart Simpson

Karumba, Australia

We camped just out of Normanton last night at Walker Creek and continued on to Karumba for breakfast. This is right on the Gulf of Carpenteria and it was very wet and cold when we were there. Again we have brought the unseasonal weather to the tropics. Karumba is known as the town where the desert meets the sea and this is a very apt name. This is where the catalinas left from with supplies for PNG (note for Granny Sue). There is also a very high presence of salt water crocodiles so we did not hang around long by the waters edge, the warnings are enough to scare you if the statue (refer my photos) hasnt already. We returned to Normanton to our friends the librarians, we seem to make friends with all the librarians as we spend so much time in them. After finishing school work it was off to Burke and Wills Road house but it was too far to go in one day. Particularly as the truck was driving into a head wind and Glenn could not go faster than 65-70km. We camped at a roadstop half way Burke and Wills.

Cole really looks like he is on to something. 3 more photos, still no Glenn.

The slow internet connection is sounding like an excuse.
