Maps Online - Old and New

Original Parish maps are available showing who bought the land following the first land subdivisions.
Additions to the maps suggest that as original blocks were resubdivided new owner's names were added. Could this explain why some additions are dated in the 1900's?

A: Current Aerial Photo Maps
NearMaps www.nearmap.com/ Australian aerial photomap company. You will need to register and pay a fee to see their work. Photos are wonderfully clear. A strong feature of this company is that all previous photos are kept on line and Clyde can be viewed as far back as 2009. Enjoy!
