Normanton suburb profile
Normanton is a small outback town on the banks of the Norman River in Queensland's Gulf Country, acting as a service centre for surrounding cattle stations and coastal communities. It has a weathered, historic feel with low-rise timber and corrugated iron buildings, a compact main street of local shops and pubs, and a riverfront that draws fishers and boaters. The heritage Gulflander tourist train and the river backdrop give the town a distinctive character.
