    It needs to be flipped - the building says Vale View Hotel on it, but it’s backwards. The Vale View Hotel was in Avoca all right.

    Avoca, but back to front? See 'Vale View Hotel' on the front of the central building.

    Flickr is sometimes so sad! In 2010 via 私の写真, who says "closed for 15 years"; therefore closed in 1995?

    It's not really of King St. (now O'Rahilly St. - I did find a King St. in Ballina, NSW though...) I think it was taken from somewhere around here (OSI link). You can see the footbridge above.
  • Swordscookie said:
    It seems so unlikely to be a street given the rural surroundings. That looks more like a weir or salmon trap down there than a footbridge. I suspect that the footbridge was a later adaptation of the access!
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Swordscookie There's both a "footbridge" and a salmon weir marked on the 25" OSI. But it's a bit unclear as to how the footbridge is supposed to work....

    Sharon Corbet It is so long since I was in Ballina that I am having difficulty in orienting myself with the photograph! Here is another shot from a different angle. (I don't know how to simplify the link) catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000332634

    Swordscookie Sharon Corbet From the bridge to the start of the weir is the famous "Ridge Pool" the most productive salmon pool in the land. I have fished it before. I would think that all the workings we see in the river are to do with Salmon management and commercial fishing.
