    This iconic outback town played an important part in the history of the Quilpie Shire, as it was once the central business center. The town is named after Ada Constance Stevens (wife of Ernest James Stevens). The Stevens family had the Tintinchilla (later Milo) pastoral run in the area. There is a story that the origin of the name is that Ada lost her hat veil (Ada-veil) when the Milo road crosses Blackwater Creek. Town and suburban lots in the town of Adavale were sold on 9 February 1881 at Charleville The town was a thriving center but, in 1917, the Western railway line did not come to the town as expected but passed further to the south where the new town of Quilpie was created along the railway line, and soon became the major town in the region while Adavale diminished. In 1930, it was decided that the seat of local government should move from Adavale to Quilpie and the Shire of Adavale was renamed the Shire of Quilpie. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adavale

    Current Streetview. OSI 6". According to wikipedia, it was " housing the US Army during World War II, and later being used as a dance hall during the 1950s and 1960s".

    The current castle dates from 1839 according to the DIA but the interior of it was not finished as the owner Robert Ogilby died. "His successors took no interest in the castle and the partially-complete castle was neglected before it had even been finished." It was almost demolished by Limavady Council but on public outcry was instead renovated.

    The ruins of the castle of Dungiven stand at the top of the street and are not very striking in themselves although standing on a slope they command some fine views in the valley This place was built in the time of James I with a fosse and mounds in front and flanked by two round towers The interior courts appear to have been well fortified but the work of ruin is so complete as to leave little but guesses to the non antiquarian.

    Sharon Corbet Sharon, it looks like everyone but the two of us are off for the Easter weekend. I don't have much to add other than a vague memory about Dungiven Castle being associated with the song "Danny Boy"

    At the Plantation of Ulster, this part of County Derry in which Dungiven Castle was situated was granted to the Skinners' Company, and their grant from the Honourable the Irish Society was dated 1617. lordbelmontinnorthernireland.blogspot.ie/2013/09/dungiven...
