21-May-1998 -- Fewer people have been to the Surveyor General's Corner than
to the South Pole. It is the point at which Western Aust.,
South Aust. and the Northern Territory meet. However due to an
early surveying error (lack of a chronometer in the early 1920's) the WA border to the north
is out of line with the border to the south by about 120m. There are
actually two posts to mark the realignment which was agreed
to by the Surveyors General of each state. The WA border follows
the 129th longitude. |
