Vale Of Avoca (bridge)
Vale of Avoca is the name of a large viaduct which carries St. Clair Avenue East over a ravine of the same name, in Toronto, Canada. Located just east of Yonge Street, the current triple arch bridge, also known as the St. Clair Viaduct, was built to connect the well-established community of Deer Park with the developing community of Moore Park in the 1920s. The bridge replaced an older structure and straightened the alignment of St. Clair Avenue in the process. A small channelized tributary of the Don River, known as Yellow Creek, weaves beneath the central span. Much of David A. Balfour Park (named for the Toronto city councillor) consists of a nature trail that winds through the Vale of Avoca Ravine; the park also includes a grassy recreational area near an inlet into which Yellow Creek flows. The bridge and the ravine it crosses is named after a poem by Thomas Moore. History The first bridge over the Vale of Avoca was an iron bridge, built in 1888. The bridge was built ...

Vale Of Avoca (ravine)
Yellow Creek is a partially- buried southeasterly tributary of the Don River in Toronto. It has also been known at different times as Silver Creek, Sylvan Creek, and Rosedale Brook. The former source of Yellow Creek begins near Sheppard West station in the Downsview neighbourhood. Most of the creek and its sources are buried underground in storm sewers until they emerge into ''Avoca Ravine'' in the Deer Park neighbourhood and continue their way to the Don River. Former reach Much of the former reach of Yellow Creek was buried, starting from its source approximately around Sheppard West station, near Downsview Airport. It followed a southeasterly course from there to just south of Rondale Boulevard. Continuing south-east, it was fed by two small streams, one at Bathurst Heights and another near Briar Hill Avenue. Buried sections The modern storm sewer main located near the confluence of the two former streams at Bathurst Heights and near Briar Hill Avenue is a major source of ...

River Avoca
The Avoca ( ga, Abhainn Abhóca) is a river in County Wicklow, Ireland. It is contained completely within the county. Its length is 35 miles (56.3 km). The Avoca starts life as two rivers, the Avonmore () and the Avonbeg (). These join at a spot called the ''Meeting of the Waters'' (''Cumar an dá Uisce'') in the ''Vale of Avoca'', which is considered a local beauty spot, and was celebrated by Thomas Moore in his song of the same name. The village of Avoca is situated on the river. The Avoca flows into the Irish Sea at Arklow where it widens into a large estuary, giving Arklow its Irish language name ''an t-Inbhear Mór'' (the big inlet). The catchment area of the Avoca is 652 km2. The long term average flow rate of the Avoca is 20.2 cubic metres per second (m3/s) Name The Avoca was originally called Abhainn Mhór / Abhainn Dé (great river/God's river); the present name was derived from ''Oboka'' (), the name of a river in Ptolemy's ''Geography'', which was ...
