Description
SECOND HAND BOOK – EX-LIBRARY
This history, in dealing with Croydon, gives an insight into the development of a piece of territory, beautiful in its own right, lying 18 miles east of Melbourne at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges. It tells of how it grew from its beginnings 130 years ago as a cattle station, the soil never before tilled by white man or Aboriginal, until by 1967 it showed as a town of city size.
In the interim it was tossed to and fro municipally between Berwick District Road Board and that of Upper Yarra and finally came into its right as the Shire of Croydon with several small towns of its own after a sojourn as a riding in the Shire of Lilydale.
And in all the long years between, many exciting things happened, and they were not all municipal.
