Hello! First post! I am about to convince you that I have WAY too much time on my hands!

In Australia there are 5 mainland states [Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia] and two territories [ACT and Nothern Territory]. My trivia is that most of the joins in between the states or territories have offcial names. A list of joins:

Cameron Corner: joins South Australia/Queensland/New South Wales
Haddon Corner: joins South Australia/Queensland
Poepell's Corner: joins Northern Territory/South Australia/Queensland
Surveyor General's Corner: joins Northern Territory/Western Australia/South Australia

Now, my question is this: why is there no name for the corner of Victoria/New South Wales/South Australia? Even if it's on the Murray River the corner could still be names. And where is this unnamed corner in terms of coordinates?

And no, I don't know - that's why I am asking!

OK. This question was too hard for this section!

Maybe the moderator could move it to that sub-section for hard trivia questions?
