LOOKING for tips on where to go fishing and what bait to use? You can’t go past Charlie ‘Have-a-Chat’ Burns at KC’s Corner.
The front half of KC’s has fishing tackle (the other part is a hardware store) and Charlie is in contact with the local fishing enthusiasts so he often has some good tips on where the fish are biting, what they’re biting on … and even what colour lure is best! He can also help with information about fisheries regulations, tide times and the state of the roads.
Browse through the large stock of lures in a variety of shapes and colours. Check out the prices of coolers, trouble lights, reels and even Old Timer pocket knives. The shop also offers a swap-and-go gas service and a small supply of outboard parts including boat bungs and fuel lines.
Take a gander at the ‘metre board’ - an honour board with pictures of people who have pulled in beauty barras measuring more than 1m.
While you’re there, use the digital photographic service offered. Have your digital processing done – downloading, burning to CD, printing images and printing off CDs.
Also in town is Normanton Electrical and Video. The store is a Buy-Rite outlet and has a huge array of whitegoods. You can pick up smaller items too, like toasters, kettles, radios, TVs, mobile phones, recharge cards, DVDs, CDs or cassettes to augment your travelling entertainment collection.
Right next door, shop for fruit and vegetables and a large variety of smallgoods at the Normanton Stop Shop. It’s open seven days, and offers weekly specials for those who like to get a bargain. It has the largest variety of grocery lines in Normanton and the list just keeps getting bigger! And when the munchies hit, choose from a great selection of drinks, chips and icecreams.
The air conditioning has been recently upgraded so it’s an absolute pleasure to shop there.
