thanx
this site has actually been twisting our minds since
message 1016
tho the address has changed a few times over the years

& i suppose the most peculiar thing about its contents
from a multipointing perspective is that they are not
really so concerned with the ozzie tripoints as with
the various corners of south australia

nor do they show pix of either of the 2 full blown
tristate points that actually do exist down under


of these
the dry nsqlsa tristate point or camerons corner
was last & perhaps best visited here
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/19329

& in fact the unnamed wet nssavi tristate point has no
known pic but just this atmospheric or neighborhood
shot
http://www.ecotrek.com.au/listings/19.html


of the 2 northern territory nontristate tripoints
aka ntsawa & ntqlsa
or the surveyor generals & poeppels corners
respectively
only the latter is indeed shown

so unless one is quite careful
it is easy to get a very wrong impression of the ozzie
tristate points
& even to imagine that there are 4 of them when there
are really only 2 properly so called
& to further imagine that we have been treated to pix
of them all here
when in fact only the last mentioned one
which is not really a tristate point
is shown at all


in case anyone is wondering
the other of the 2 lesser tripoints that is so rarely
visited
namely ntsawa or the surveyor generals corner
is actually shown here
