Credo is a former pastoral lease located about 70 kilometres (43 mi) north of Coolgardie in the Goldfields of Western Australia.
[1] The pastoral lease was acquired by the Department of Environment and Conservation in 2007 and is now used as a tourist destination, offering overnight stays in the six dongas on the site.
[2] The explorer Ernest Giles passed through the area in 1875 and had an encounter at nearby Ularring Rock with an Aboriginal tribe.
[further explanation needed] The station was set up by William Henry Halford, who arrived in the area in 1904 after departing from Mintabying in South Australia in 1903, via Fowlers Bay, Eucla and Balladonia.
Many old mines once operated in the area, including Black Flag, Four in Hand, Bountiful, Crown and Golden Buckle.
[15] A 45-year-old woman living at Credo, Alice Donaldson, collapsed from an apparent heart attack and died en route to Kalgoorlie in 1948.
The pool is approximately 3 miles (5 km) in circumference and used to attract people from the surrounding areas to go swimming.
