OK, I'll bite Allan.
"A bit of trivia...... Of the five state border junctions, only S.A. is in each of them."
So ( for a bit of fun)
SGC - Tick
Poeppel Cnr - Tick
Cameron Cnr - Tick
That's 3 I count Allan.
Some may count Haddon Cnr, but that is not a
junction, its just a non straight bit of border. ( Like much of Vic / NSW)
Back on topic ( a bit)
Most people would include
MacCabe Corner as a 5th one, but not SA Fisheries. They claim that they control all of the river up to the NSW border. so by their reckoning there is no 3 way
junction, just the SA NSW border and a SA Vic border to the west. The basis of this is that when Victoria was separated from NSW it was defined as on the southern edge of the river. That still stands apparently. So therefore the part of the river between NSW and SA is in SA, and none of the Murray is in Vic.
An interesting read is "Australia's lost border, Bob Dunn and
John Deckert" they argue that there are about 5 or 6 possibilities for the area around VIC, SA , NSW. Non of which are agreed. Some include that some of the Murray is commonwealth land.
An interesting read.
Now what about Boundary Inlet on the Vic Tassie boundary?
