Karumba is a town located in the Gulf of Carpentaria with a base population of approximately 600 which swells in the “dry” season with approximately 100,000 tourists and semi-permanent residents visiting the region per year. This number has been increasing year-on-year due to the influence of the “in-vogue” self-drive tourism market. In recent years the town has developed in two sections, with the port / main town centre and the tourist centre (where the Sunset Tavern is located). The town’s economy is driven by the well-known and lucrative commercial fishing industry as well as the pastoral industry. In addition to this, Karumba’s economy is currently benefiting from New Century’s zinc mining & exports via the port.
All roads leading to Karumba are fully sealed so even if you don’t own a 4-wheel drive, the trip to Karumba will be a comfortable one.
The Les Wilson Barramundi Discovery Centre is a must when you come to town – self guided walk through or organised tour plus you can include feeding the Gulf Saltwater Barramundi as part of the experience.
Karumba as demand is high through the fishing season.
Karumba hosts a community recreation club which operates a 9 hole golf course with sand greens – clubs are available for hire with an honesty box in place.
There are several park areas and a main playground which is located beside Karumba’s Water Park and swimming pool (check hours open on Carpentaria Council website) – plus walking the coastline and exploring the beaches is always fun – just remember – ‘no toes in the water’.
