Normanton Swimming Pool ca.1953

from State Library of Queensland

  Normanton is full of old-world charm and started life as a port for the Gulf of Carpentaria’s cattle industry and also became of importance after the discovery of gold at Croydon in 1885. You can’t pass through Normanton without having your photo taken with Krys – The Savannah King. This croc is unique as it is said that this is an exact replica of the huge croc, 8.63 meters. It was shot by professional crocodile hunter, Krystyna Pawlowski in July 1957 on the MacArthur Bank, in the Norman River downstream from Normanton. The crocodile was shot on the MacArthur Bank, Norman River, downstream from Normanton in July 1957. The woman who shot it was a professional crocodile hunter. Normanton Tourist Park boasts to have the largest resort pool in the North West of Queensland. Source: www.aussiecaravanninglifestyle.com/normanton-queensland/
