Surveyor Generals Corner, State boundary tripoint in Western Australian desert, Australia
Two concrete pillars stand approximately 127 meters apart, marking the intersection point of South Australia, Western Australia, and Northern Territory borders.
The corner was established in 1968 when Surveyor Barry Allwright conducted the initial survey and erected monuments at the junction of three territories.
The Irrunytju Aboriginal Community maintains control over access to this boundary point, requiring specific permits for all visitors entering their traditional lands.
Travelers need multiple permits, including permission from the Irrunytju Community Office and a Great Central Road transit permit to reach this remote location.
Due to the intersection of three time zones at this point, visitors can experience New Year celebrations three separate times within the same location.
