Karumba is a town in north-western
Queensland,
Australia, 71 km by road from
Normanton and 2159 km from the state capital,
Brisbane. Karumba forms part of
Carpentaria Shire Council, the administrative headquarters of which is in Normanton. The town is sited at the mouth of the
Norman River, and enjoys the distinction of being the only town along the southern
Gulf of Carpentaria that is within sight of the Gulf itself (the Gulf's extensive
tidal flats prohibits settlement elsewhere along its shore). As such, the town's economy revolves largely around fishing. The Karumba port services the Century Zinc mine as well as fishing.
