Cameron Corner, Queensland
Cameron Corner is an outback locality in the Shire of Bulloo, Queensland, Australia. It is on the Queensland border with New South Wales to the south and South Australia to the west. In the 2021 census, Cameron Corner had a population of 19 people.
Cameron Corner is located about 1,400 kilometres (870 mi) west-southwest of Brisbane, Queensland and 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 (the area immediately to the north and east of the intersection of the state boundaries). The noted Dingo Fence passes through Cameron Corner along the New South Wales border.
Cameron Corner has the following mountains (from north to south):
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 centre of Australia.
The corner and locality are named for the surveyor, John Brewer Cameron, from the New South Wales Lands Department, who spent two years during 1880–1882 marking the border between New South Wales and Queensland. Cameron erected a post there in September 1880 to mark its intersection with the border of South Australia. He placed a wooden marker every 1 mile (1.6 km) eastwards along the interstate boundary.
On 28 January 1919, the Queensland Government placed restrictions on the border crossing at Wompah Gate (29°00′00″S 142°10′26″E / 29.00000°S 142.17378°E) to prevent the spread of the Spanish flu into Queensland, which were enforced by the Queensland Police. A medical screening process was used to determine if Queensland residents could safely return to the state.
On 17 April 2020, the Queensland Government reorganised the nine localities in the Shire of Bulloo, resulting in six localities. It included Cameron Corner gaining a small portion of land from the west of the locality of Bulloo Downs. It increased the area of the locality from 12,866.0 square kilometres (4,967.6 sq mi) to 14,554.8 square kilometres (5,619.6 sq mi).
In the 2016 census, Cameron Corner had "no people or a very low population".
