History & geography

History

==History== Avoca is a confirmed locality. In the 19th century, the town had a small Anglican church (St. Thomas', designed by James Blackburn), a school, and a police station. St. Paul's river was crossed by a small stone bridge. St. Paul's Plains Post Office opened on 1 June 1832 and was renamed Avoca in 1837. Today, mines in the area have closed and Avoca serves only as a farming community.
