Queensland was originally divided into administrative areas to create a unique identifier for each property. The initial administrative areas included pastoral districts, counties, parishes and land agent's districts. Status of counties Each county was usually 40 miles square in size. Some were unworkably large and were subdivided in 1900, increasing the total number from 109 to 319. Knowing a county name can be important as the same parish names can be found in different counties (e.g. there is a Parish of Inglewood in the Counties of Bentinck, Clive and Marsh).

The town was named on 5 January 1970.[2] On 10 December 1988 the suburb of Clinton was created from the merger of the former suburbs Clinton North and Clinton South. The name Clinton is derived from the County of Clinton (the cadastral administrative division containing Gladstone). Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton,_Queensland

What a wonderfully surreal image.

So this is a flipped image, negative in mirror? Look at top right with Film Type stock print.

Thanks for your question about the image. The film info and notch code were reviewed and confirmed that the image is oriented correctly. During the process of checking, the TIFF image revealed another detail -- the brand name of the coveralls can be seen on the metal buckle. The embossed brand name is very small in the default display, but identifiable with magnification.
