Croydon Shire

Croydon Shire is renowned in Australia for the Gulflander heritage railway, the historic line connecting Croydon with Normanton. Set in Queensland’s inland Gulf Country, the shire extends across tropical savanna south of the Gulf of Carpentaria, where wet and dry seasons shape travel and grazing. Gold was discovered at Croydon in 1885, triggering a rush that made the town an important mining centre in the late nineteenth century. The railway, built to serve that boom, remains a clear link to this formative period. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Croydon Shire.
