The sight of the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria at Karumba Point always soothes the soul, and I enjoyed some fresh Chook Burger, Roll and chips from Karumba Point Sunset Caravan Park while contemplating the sea, but I couldn’t delay too long because this time was down at the port end of town.
The Barra and Blues festival was created to coincide with the official opening of the wonderful Les Wilson Barramundi Discovery Centre, with a stage set up next door to the the new centre on Yappar St, past the New Century export loading facility.
The Centre is a crescent-shaped building next to a barramundi dam which had over 100 fish in it on the weekend.
While there are no plans for any catch and release activities in the dam itself, it will breed and grow barra, and the daily feeding is expected to be a drawcard for tourists.
Inside the building are displays and educational material about the town Karumba, crocodiles, and of course, the barra themselves.
