In 1870 a station was opened between Windsor and Richmond called Racecourse, but this was renamed Clarendon in 1876. In June 1867, the Hawkesbury River flooded, and reached an all-time peak of 63 feet above the mean river level at Windsor. http://www.visitsydneyaustralia.com.au/history-9-victorian.html
