RE: Part 7 of 8 - My Epic Simpson Desert (Munga Thirri) Crossing - BIG RED | 3 States, 3 Time Zones - All in one place
That's a pretty decent pub meal O_O That post is pretty cool, and I like that someone bothered to go all the way out there just to find the spot where three imaginary lines intersect XD That's some dedication.
It was part of the surveying work assigned to Peoppel. From what I understood, at the time the authorities didn't quite know where the respective state borders were. Peoppel had dragged the measuring chains along the ground so once he got to the site he got his measurement wrong as the chain had stretched over the distance. The modern-day marker is in the right place. About 3 meters from where the original was planted. :)
The dedication and the trouble they went to those days has to be admired for sure.
LOVE outback pub meals!!!
