A very early picture of Clyde circa 1862 (not 1860 as marked on the image).

The phograph highlights the barren nature of the area and the original mining-era buildings.

 said Photo Clyde dated 1860

Incorrect date as Clyde did not exist until after August 1862 when the goldrush pioneers came through this area.

Will research more accurate date and comment back.

Well Clyde did exist in 1860- it was a pastoral run...

If the photo is of the goldfileds town of Dunstan it perhaps can be dated- depending on the businesses then. Or clothing styles etc.

oh my gosh! This resource does not have to be perfect!
