Reaching the ocean

Arrived at Karumba, on the Gulf of Carpentaria this afternoon. It’s lovely to see the sea again. I definitely have an affinity with the ocean. Whilst the inland is vast and beautiful, the ocean is where I belong! We are at Karumba point where the river flows out to the gulf. It’s a bit different to Victoria though. Lots of Mangroves - the same, but only a little sand with rocks and dirt. Oh…. and there are also salt water crocs ! 🐊We watched the sunset from the tavern but it was a little cloudier than I would have liked. But still so relaxing to watch the interplay between the setting sun and the water. Great fisherman’s basket for dinner and a short stroll back to the caravan park to walk off the beers and the basket🤣……along the road not the mangrove/crocodile beach.
Plenty of Brolgas along the way from Normanton to Karumba. It got to the stage that instead of getting excited I would just casually remark “there’s more Brolga’s.” Jamie is always so thrilled with bird talk!!!!
It also appears that I like finding tyre swings!😀Read more
