Clarence River Boat, Australia, 1996

Two fishermen navigate the fog-fringed Clarence River near the town of Grafton in New South Wales, Australia. Settlement along the 245-mile-long (394-kilometer-long) Clarence, began near Grafton in 1832 after a convict who had escaped into the area won his freedom by leading timber barons to copious cedar stands along the river's banks.
