When you visit the Barra Centre, make sure you take time to explore the rest of Karumba. There are lots to do and see! Karumba is a fisherman’s paradise with a huge array of fish, crabs and prawns in the area. Jump on a fishing charter or take a river and sunset tour to explore the amazing birdlife, as well as crabs and crocodiles. Visit the Karumba Swimming Pool and Waterpark with the kids for a cool down. Or just relax at the Sunset Tavern with its uninterrupted views across the mouth of the Norman River and Gulf of Carpentaria.
