Cameron Corner is one of Australia’s most distinctive outback destinations, marking the remote point where Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia meet. Situated within the vast landscapes of Corner Country, the junction is surrounded by red sand, gibber plains, saltbush country and seemingly endless horizons.
The location takes its name from surveyor John Brewer Cameron, who completed the original survey of the Queensland and New South Wales border in 1880. The original wooden corner post was eventually replaced by the present survey marker, which allows visitors to stand at the meeting point of three Australian states.
Cameron Corner is not a conventional township. It is a remote landmark, traveller stop and service point positioned beside the Wild Dog Fence. The nearby Cameron Corner Store provides fuel, meals, refreshments and motel-style accommodation for travellers crossing this isolated part of inland Australia.
The surrounding region forms part of a wider outback journey connecting Cameron Corner with Sturt National Park, Fort Grey and Lake Pinaroo. Travellers encounter sand dunes, arid plains, important wetlands, pastoral history and evidence of the region’s enduring Aboriginal cultural connections.
Reaching Cameron Corner requires careful preparation. Roads through the region are remote and may be unsealed, while conditions can change following rain or extreme weather. Visitors should check current road conditions, carry sufficient water and fuel, and ensure their vehicle is suitable for the planned route.
