Anytime you visit Karumba there is of course the fishing - however DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR - get along to the Barramundi Discovery Centre - Yappar Street, Karumba. This is a working Barramundi Hatchery and you can do a tour to find out all sorts of amazing facts - including feeding some very big barra as part of the tour. This is a not for profit organisation relying heavily on volunteer workers and donations. The hatchery provides Barra finglerlings for restocking the Gulf waterways - important work - 'Fish for a Fishing Future' TOURS - Currently tours are not available as this is their very busy time with spawning and all the associated work in breeding barramundi for restocking. Tours commence from Easter to end Sept - 5 days a week Closed Sundays and Public Holidays. The Gulf Barramundi Restocking Association faces many challenges - being a not for profit organisation there is an ongoing need for fund raising. By becoming a member you help keep the very important work of the Farm going - breeding and restocking Gulf rivers and waters with Barramundi ensuring sustainability - supporting both recreational and commercial fishing for a bright future. And if you are staying in Karumba for few weeks or longer - why not volunteer a few hours here and there! http://www.barradiscoverycentre.com/
