The Gulflander is an historic railway link established in the 1800s to service Croydon, which was then a booming gold town (it boasted 19 hotels in its heyday – of which only one remains). The rail link connects with Normanton – which was the area’s port before to the establishment of Karumba. Croydon Historic Village is now an historic precinct under a restoration plan. In the surrounding environs you’ll find savannah grasslands, low rolling hills which are rich in the historic remains of early gold mining activity. 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. Croydon is about 525 kilometres west of Cairns.
