Cameron Corner
Cameron Corner is the point in the outback of eastern Australia where the boundary lines of the states of Queensland, South Australia, and New South Wales meet. It is also a locality in the Shire of Bulloo, Queensland (the area immediately to the north and east of the intersection of the state boundaries). It is located about west-southwest of Brisbane, Queensland. The noted Dingo Fence passes through Cameron Corner along the New South Wales border.
==History==
The corner and locality are named for the surveyor, John Brewer Cameron, from the New South Wales Lands Department, who spent two years during 1880 - 82 marking the border between New South Wales and Queensland.〔 Mr. Cameron erected a post there in September 1880 to mark its intersection with the border of South Australia. He placed a wooden marker every mile (1.6 km) eastwards along the interstate boundary.
This general area, which includes Sturt Stony Desert in the Lake Eyre Basin, was first explored by Captain Charles Sturt, who in 1844 went in search of a supposed inland sea in the center of Australia.
