The photo above shows the former staff quarters of the Karumba Flying Boat Base in June 1965 (compare with the 1938 photo below). By this time the Flying Boat Base and associated Aeradio Station had closed down and the building was in use as a Guest House. To the right of shot can just be seen the former Control Building, which housed Aeradio. The Norman River is in the foreground.
