Northern Australia often refers to the following.

It is characterised by warm and humid temperatures, often around 30°C all year around. Often the summer months are often rainy and hence called "wet season", while the winter months are usually called "dry season".

The Pilbara is often included but it is much further south than some of the other Northern Australian regions.

## Do

The Savannah Way is a network of roads comprising all three jurisdictions for over 3,500 km (2,200 mi) between Cairns and Broome, largely on the trail of Highway 1. The road is well signposted in Queensland, but much more sparingly in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

## Stay safe

Some parts of Northern Australia, particularly in Queensland and the Northern Territory are colloquially called croc country – due to the large number of crocodiles in the region, particularly closer to the coastlines. Stay at least 100 metres from rivers and estuaries, unless you would like to end up being a croc's dinner.
# Karumba

Karumba is the only place where there is sealed road access to the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is a prawning and fishing town, where you can watch the sun set over the gulf.

The Gulf Savannah is an interesting region to visit all year; however, during the monsoon season, transportation methods must be carefully considered, as some parts of the Gulf Savannah region suffer from a lack of road infrastructure. Karumba is situated on the mouth of the Norman River and is the centre of the Gulf's prawning industry. Surrounding environ is flat wetlands which extend inland for approximately 30 kilometres. Wetlands are a series of meandering saltwater tidal estuaries, habitat for saltwater crocodiles and vast array of bird species, such as pelicans, cyrus cranes, brolgas and black swans.

## Get in

Karumba is 70 km from Normanton on a sealed road. The road can get flooded in wet season. Although the road can get flooded, the road is rather high-quality – except for near a few intersections, most of the road from Normanton is 110 km/h (68 mph).
Karumba does not have a sealed airstrip. There are no commercial scheduled flights.
