History alongside the Clyde

A view of parkland alongside the Clyde River, where the coastal steamers from Sydney used to berth, before the road network was developed. The large tree stump to the right is the "Bushranger tree" where it is believed the bushranging Clarke brothers were chained in 1867, awaiting the steamer taking them to their trial in Sydney (see also image in PiP for more detail).

As the departure of the Clarkes marked the end of bushranging in NSW, I'd think that's a good reason for HFF! Best wishes for the weekend, everyone.

FWIW, this is leading to the existing bridge across the river, shortly to be replaced.

Explored.

Excellent photo and the river, I'm sure, is named for the Scottish Clyde.

too bad the tree didn't survive, but the stump is still quite photogenic.
