Three in one

Not everything is exciting, f.i. Karumba, but we're not there yet. From Flat Creek station we drove via Georgetown to Croydon for a one night stop, it was a good caravan park with free washing machines so of course I did some washing and we had a little walk through the town.

Next day we drove to Normanton, Normanton is again a very small place but we had a lovely caravan park which was very welcome after these hard days, especially the swimming pool!! 25 meters long and a very nice temperature to cool down a bit.

There are a few nice things to see in Normanton but we also saw that nearly the whole town was wiped away with the 1974 flooding.
Look at the replica of the biggest Crocodile ever hunted (8,63 mtr), named Krys.

 

General Store established in 1879

Albion Hotel, built in Croydon 1880 relocated in 1900 to Normanton

We had a lovely dinner;

Sign in the toilet, well we know why!! Don't we!

And then Karumba, everyone goes there and most of them are in an awe of Karumba, there are people who stay there for weeks, even months. If you want to stay that long the most essential thing you MUST have is a boat because we really can't think of anything else to do there than to go fishing!! I had booked a caravan park for 2 nights but really was sorry because we were there early (Normanton is only 70'ks away) and we had seen it all in half a day, even walked from our caravan park to the point which was approx 3 km and back, which I must admit was a nice walk, bit hot, but hey, we're in the tropics!

Anyhow, I'll leave you here with a few pictures because even though boring, the nature is always beautiful in Australia. By the way, with giving you these last two exiting and long blogs, I think I deserve to have a break  and do a small one now.
