Ah Karumba!

A long drive today across to Normanton then Karumba. Other than my hair misbehaving, we have just tonight rudely discovered our bed is partly wet from our water supply! We carry it in a tub to prevent exactly this scenario, but it sloshed out a bit unawares to us. We have put the bedding including the mattress cover (good old zip-off Ikea mattress cover) into a big dryer so we should be ok. Anyway, we also came across the most fetching termite mound dress-ups we have seen to date (and we've seen a few). The fields of termite mounds we extensive and impressive. The Normanton railway station (1889) was a treat, being where the 'Gulflander' is based. We had dinner at the Sunset Tavern in Karumba seeing (of course) the sunset - over the Gulf of Carpinteria. All in all a surprisingly eventful day!

  1. That all sounds great, but try “barber near to me” in Google maps and get the hair sorted, quick!
