    Streetview. maps.app.goo.gl/SPaibQ75UYpfjYdb7 That cottage on the left is still there. Hard to see if those steps are still there. Amazing growth in foliage since.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons The 25" Osi map shows that sluice on a weir and a water course running to a mill which was to the right of the photograph.

Two cars stopping in the town of Adavale, Queensland, October 1911

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Adavale is located approximately 100 kilometres north east of Quilpie. The township was proclaimed on 3 December 1872 and by 1897 five hotels soothed the dusty throats of travellers and locals alike. The mail coach Cobb and Co stopped in the town on its way from Charleville via Cheepie to Windorah. The name Adavale has been said to derive from the horse and buggy days when in 1870 a Mr Stevens, who later became Member of Warrego 1879 to 1922 and State Treasurer, was out driving with his wife when the veil from her hat blew away. It is believed he called out 'there goes Ada's veil' hence the crossing was Ada's Veil Crossing and subsequently Adavale. Today Adavale is a much smaller township with a population of only twelve people. An Artesian bore supplies water and the town has rural power. The town is well worth a look as it is a town filled with history, stories and memories. The locals have done a marvellous job celebrating their history, culture and dry Outback humour. A mini museum, in the old butcher house, displays local relics from more than a century ago. Source: www.australianexplorer.com/adavale.htm#:~:text

    This photo is in Kings Cross. The doorway on the right is the Manning Street entrance to the Werrington building, 85 Macleay Street. The building under construction in the centre is 44 Macleay Street, now the Devere Hotel with the Apollo restaurant downstairs.
