Croydon Information

General Information: The Gulf Savannah is an interesting region to visit all year, however, during the monsoon season, transportation methods must be carefully considered, as some parts of the Gulf Savannah region suffer from a lack of road infrastructure.

The Gulflander is an historic railway link established in the 1800's to service Croydon, which was then a booming gold town (it boasted 19 hotels in its heyday of which only one remains) from Normanton, which was this area's port prior to the establishment of Karumba. Croydon Historic Village is now an historic precinct under a restoration plan.

Surrounding environs - savannah grasslands, low rolling hills which are rich in the historic remains of early gold mining activity.

Distance from Brisbane (State Capital):

Via Mount Isa - 2,463 kilometres : Via Cairns - 2,280 kilometres
