Croydon, situated in the heart of the Gulf Savannah country (
Savannah Way), is a small town with a big history that started with the discovery of gold in 1885. Start at Croydon's True Blue
Visitor Information Centre which houses significant collections of
heritage items, information displays, an audio visual in its theatre and an internet service. The centre can direct you to the outdoor
heritage displays, a mining machinery collection and grand old
heritage buildings. Grab your self-guided brochure and enjoy the Croydon story.

Heritage Precinct with police station, jail, Sergeant's residence, town hall and courthouse, the oldest building in Croydon (circa 1887) are open and free for visitors to wander through. The Mining Museum has an operable 'stamper' on the original Iguana Consul
Mine.
