CAMERON CORNER
A day trip to Cameron Corner , on the borders of Queensland , South Australia and New South Wales , is a must , and takes in a number of historical sites and markers from the Sturt expedition as well as the infamous dingo fence , which stretches 5600km between Queensland and South Australia .
Be sure to check out the Wild Deserts Project , which is reintroducing locally extinct mammals , such as the bilby , bandicoot and western quoll back into the national park , and stop for a selfie at the newly installed and very impressive sculptures of these mammals .
