[edit] History

Avoca Beach is named after a farm that was once located there. It was promised to John Moore on 4 January 1830. The official deeds were not issued until 30 September 1939 due to the difficulty in surveying the land. He built a house opposite Bulbararing Lake (now known as Avoca Lake) and planted vines and fruit trees which were there until residential development began during the 20th century. John Moore continued to occupy the land until 1857.^[6]
