We arrived in Croydon late morning and set up camp in the local council's Freedom Camping Area. A permit was needed for the cost of a donation to local heritage preservation and display. Well done Croydon shire! We had an afternoon drive to Belmore Dam, Croydon's water supply, and stopped at a lookout to watch the sunset before heading back to camp.

The next day we looked at some of the historical precincts in the town.
