Oz tripoints are all well demarcated, and are sources of tourism for 4WDers,
as three are in the middle of nowhere. One is the site of a pub: "The Corner
Store"!!!
Dunno about waters for Jervis bay, but looking at the map, it is interesting
that they have drawn a line from St Georg'es penn part out to the island
nearby. It cuts through 2 jetties on my 1:25 000 maps!
PS the shortest Aussie border is a few hundred metres long, if that, along a
rocklet in Bass Strait. Recent checking of the borders location reveals it
accidentally goes through a rock that the border demarcation last century
tried to avoid. Oh well.
