It is centred on the city of Gladstone and includes most of the Gladstone Region.[1][2] The county was created on 1 September 1855 by royal proclamation under the Waste Lands Australia Act 1846.[3] On 7 March 1901, the Governor issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897.[4] Its schedule described Clinton thus:

Bounded on the south by the county of Yarrol; on the west by the county of Rawbelle and the eastern watershed of Callide Creek and the Don River; on the north by the northern watershed of the Calliope River; and on the east by the Pacific Ocean and the county of Flinders.

gollark: Oh yes, add warning signs too, obviously.
gollark: So leave it and ignore it in a specific place. Maybe the Moon or something, if space travel gets cheaper.
gollark: Apparently the recycling of solar panels isn't very efficient or cost-effective right now.
gollark: It's still quite small, so you can shove it in a box somewhere and ignore it, or apparently run much of it through a breeder reactor to reuse it.
gollark: The nuclear waste problem isn't even that much of an issue compared to vast amounts of degraded solar panels, it's much lower in volume.
