Croydon

All over this part of the country ants are very busy building neighbourhoods!

And the Orb spider is busy weaving webs which becomes a pantry for the young.  It seems the parents just take off leaving the young to eat, grow and get on with it!  This is also a neigbouthood.

Then we arrived at Croydon.

The oldest store with the old fashioned layout within.  

The entrance to the old hotel.      

and the reception room.        

                           The old bank of New South Wales has become the toilet. But far from being in the toilet it is now part of the Westpac group, the 2nd largest bank in Australia.

We're now on our way to Normanton.
