Les Willmott, J.P. - last mayor of the former City of Croydon. Acknowledgments: In the production of any book, many people play a part, be it financially or the giving of time with their knowledge and expertise in specialised areas, which concludes with a quality production - a book that is attractive, informative and accurate. We believe this book fits the description handsomely, and should bring joy and pleasant memories to many former and current residents of Croydon. To people who don't know very much about Croydon, this book will most certainly enlighten them. This has been a team effort, with many people playing important roles. With all this in mind, we would like to thank the following: The Maroondah City Council The Australian National Library Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs Hutchinson Legal of Ringwood Sue Pitt, Alan Bennett and staff of the Croydon Library David and Ron Jewell Andrew Potts Adrian Arnott Elsie Bolwell Lyn Lynch Nick Anchen Cr Les Wilmott JP The Neville Family Bounty Print Dawn Gubb Photo courtesy of Leader Newspaper Press on pages 87, 90 and 113

One of several Dandenong Creek marker posts inscriptions: "Busch's Weir was located at this section of the creek between 1930s to 1960s. In the 1930s, German migrant Hermann Otto Busch and his wife Dorothea moved to Bayswater and opened the Waldheim Farm Guest House. Busch built a concrete weir to create a popular swimming and fishing destination. The weir was a thriving attraction until the 1960s. Although little remains, it is fondly remembered by the Heathmont community. City dwellers would retreat to the guesthouse and wander down to Dandenong Creek to enjoy a weekend in the 'country'. Busch's guest house, tea rooms, and weir attracted locals and tourists alike."A private weir on Dandenong Creek Bayswater and Heathmont, 1930s-1967.
