Poeppel Corner

The Poeppel Corner -26 138 ( in Queensland also: Poeppel Corner) is a point in the Australian outback, where the borders of the states of Queensland and South Australia, and the Northern Territory meet, a triangle in terms of the states of Australia. Like the other three three-country corner of Australia is also this point only with all-wheel drive vehicles accessible.

Augustus Poeppel, after this point is named, led in the 1880s by surveys to find out exactly what the state borders within Australia .. His expedition group pulled a post from Eucalyptus Coolabah with camels on this issue and put it on. Originally, the point was in a salt lake, but later it was found that the measurement chain used a few inches too long. Another survey, conducted by Lawrence Wells, revealed today point as the right place.

At Poeppel Corner, there are - as well as the Cameron Corner and the Surveyor General's Corner - three times of the year because there collide three time zones.
