Clarence (AU)

From Stamps of the World

Clarence is a location (200 inhabitants in 2016) in New South Wales, Australia. It was originally a railway outpost on the original railway line across the Blue Mountains at 1113 m, but by 1908 when Clarence was used as headquarters for the Ten Tunnel deviation works, the town population had flourished to over 5,000 residents, the majority being the navvies employed on the deviation works. When the deviation was opened in 1910, the town population quickly fell, despite a new platform built on the new deviation.
