For some reason the page for Normanton, Derby City included some information on the Queensland version as a footnote which wasn't previously included on this page, and which I've now combined with the existing stub here. Never having been to Australia, I can't vouch for any of it being true, but someone wrote it so I've assumed it is. In short, don't blame me for any inaccuracies therein!!

Seems to true. I haven't been there either. I'll add some links. --Scott Davis ^Talk 09:32, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A Normanton photo to recommend

Hi Wikipedia editors, I noticed that the Normanton article lacks an image. I think this image of the entrance to the town would suit well to this Wikipedia article on Normanton, in case you are interested: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Normanton-queensland-australia-gulf-savannah-gulf-of-carpetnaria.jpg Thanks all for creating this excellent free encyclopedia, it's great!

144.135.1.34 (talk) 03:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)== Flooding == I am told that Normanton is routinely isolated due to flooding. Is this true? What is its elevation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.180.194.99 (talk) 20:55, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology here, around 8m, so basically at sea level - quite low when you consider it is still 20 or kilometres upstream from Karumba on the mouth of the Norman River. Some information on previous floods at Normanton can be found here. Hope this helps. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 21:27, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Normanton is built on flood plains so during the wet season it does flood, hope this helps
