Chris Goopy on the Rootsweb Clare-Projects list just flagged two excellent sites containing old Australian newspapers.
http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home
and
http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper
The first site has a particularly good feature which I have never seen before: because the old newspapers have had to be scanned and digitised the digital versions contain, understandably, quite few errors. However, the reader - who can see the original newspaper facsimile next to the digitised text - is able to correct the digitised text for the benefit of future readers.
Go there and punch in "County Clare" and stand back and boggle.
