Karumba is considered the portal to the Gulf’s million-dollar fishing industry, forming part of the Carpentaria Shire. Much of the Shire’s commercial activity comes through Karumba, which has an active port based around the export of zinc, lead and live cattle. Karumba acts as a transhipment port for Mornington Island, other Gulf communities and the Port of Weipa for the majority of the year, with semi-trailers transporting goods north to the town for transhipment.

In recent years the town has developed in two sections, with the port / main town centre and the tourist centre, where the Gone Fishin’ Holiday Units are located.

The successful purchaser has the opportunity to increase the asset’s revenue with a room- rate review.”
