Cameron Corner, Territorial tripoint and survey marker in Australian outback.
Cameron Corner is the point where the borders of Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales meet, marked by the Cameron Corner Survey Marker, a heritage-listed post erected by surveyor John Brewer Cameron in September 1880. The Dingo Fence runs through the corner along the New South Wales border. The surrounding locality in the Shire of Bulloo includes Mount Intrepid, Mount Morris and Mount Bygrave.
Surveyor John Brewer Cameron of the New South Wales Lands Department marked the Queensland–New South Wales border between 1880 and 1882, erecting a post at the South Australian boundary in September 1880 and placing wooden markers every mile eastwards. The Cameron Corner Survey Marker was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 2012.
The Cameron Corner Store was established in 1990 by Vietnam War veteran Sandy Nall and his wife Cathrine. In 2014 it was run by Fenn and Cheryl Miller, then the locality's only permanent residents. The shop reportedly holds a Queensland liquor licence, a New South Wales postal code and a South Australian telephone number.
Access to the location requires traveling on unsealed roads, so bring adequate water, tools, and spare tires for the journey. Preparing for remote outback driving is essential to reach the site safely.
Visitors can celebrate New Year's Eve three times at this location due to the different time zones of the three adjacent states. This temporal quirk makes the place an unusual destination for holiday celebrations.
