where and who? How are you looking? put the least amount of details in the search, such as if there are two forenames only use one, this is common, as sometimes the child was born at home and parents would need to get to someone to register. then did the registrar send them in as he/she should have? also the indexes are not perfect so could have been missed in the indexing. also I have one where children were not registered as parents were trying to avoid immunisation. There are many reasons.
if in Australia send the details through, often extra eyes will find it.

For births that went unregistered there's some hope if it was on a known farm or station and their records survived. Those unregistered in cities I can't offer advice on, except to say that the indexes aren't perfect, and it might be worthwhile checking the original church records for anything that might have slipped through the cracks.

Do know that you have the correct spelling, or have you tried that?

That will be a tough one to answer
Anyone have any clues to go on with?
You just never know

Does anyone have any search tips or special links for the situation where a birth probably wasn't registered in the 1860's? I've searched long before the date and afterwards as well with no results.

And to you as well John, welcome to this page.
We seem to be in a go slow mode but I'm sure there will be some requests for information from here.
