Cheap Flights from Karumba to Normanton

A small cattle town and coastal locality, Normanton, is a quaint town in the Shire of Carpentaria in Queensland, Australia. Dotted by colourful building along its long main street, the town is a handy junction for Karumba and Burketown. Deriving its name from the Norman River, the town has its unique attractions with several heritage sites.

Some of the notable features of the town is a statue of a long saltwater crocodile named Krys. The Norman River also produces whopping barramundi that is the crux of several competitions and barra-focussed events in April and May. A delightful town with loads of old-world charm, the place started as a port for the cattle industry and grew in importance with the discovery of gold at Croydon.

Tip: The dry season between April to November is the best time to visit with less humidity, cloudless skies and cool nights.

A masterpiece of adaptive design, the railway station is an unusual building with distinctive decorative patterns on the cross-brace that hold the corrugated iron roof. It is one of Normanton’s unique landmarks.  

There are several impressive buildings like the “Purple Pub” and “The Albion Hotel” which is famous for the humorous paintings on its barroom walls. The quirky of Bank of New South Wales looks more like an ancient house than a bank.
