MacCabe Corner is the most mysterious of the State corners, located in the Southwest corner of New South Wales and is the point representing the State borders of New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria. It is a rarely visited corner site, mainly due to its remote location and the need for multiple forms of transport to access the site.
Description
The closest point to gain access to MacCabe Corner is through the Murray Sunset National Park (Victoria) and a local area known as Higgins Cutting. Local knowledge is required to access this area as the tracks are not signposted.
More information on MacCabe Corner and a detailed plan of how to reach the site can be found here.
At MacCabe Corner you can view the South Australian / New South Wales Border marker, a white sign against the bush. If you continue along the western bank for quite some distance from the SA / NSW Marker, sitting high on the bank there is a large white post signaling MacCabe Corner.
The MacCabe Corner plaque was officially unveiled on September 6, 2008. MacCabe Corner is named for Francis MacCabe, a surveyor who did considerable work exploring and mapping New South Wales, in particular the rivers of the Murray-Darling basin.
