Croydon Shire Area

Situated in Queensland’s Gulf Savannah, Croydon once boomed with gold but now offers a gentle pace amid savannah woodlands and cattle stations. The small township has lovingly restored heritage buildings and a resident‑run museum. Locals like to cool off at Lake Belmore, a man‑made lake ideal for swimming and kayaking, and stop by the True Blue Visitor Centre where quirky displays of telegraph lines and goldfields history surprise those willing to linger.
