Canungra is a rural town and locality in the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia. Located in South East Queensland, Canungra is situated in the Gold Coast hinterland, 32 kilometres (20 mi) west of the Gold Coast and 75 kilometres (47 mi) south of Brisbane.[citation needed] Mount Misery is on the north-western boundary of the locality with Biddadaba (28.0145°S 153.1398°E) rising to 530 metres (1,740 ft) above sea level.[5][6] Residents and businesses in Canungra get their water supply from the Canungra Creek, a tributary of the Albert River. The slopes around Canungra are steep and forested, with some cleared farmlands and rural homes in the flatter valley areas. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canungra,_Queensland

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.
