Jack Cameron the NSW lands department surveyor led the 1st survey party along the NSW-QLD border between 1879-1881.The survey commenced on Sept 2nd 1879 from the border town of Barringun west to the intersection of the SA border, a project completed 12 months later. On arriving at the corner in September 1880 Cameron erected a wooden boundary post with inscription "Lat29" (latitude 29 degrees) and "Cameron". The original post is displayed at the National Parks and Wildlife service office in Tibooburra. The dog fence stretches approx 5500km it was built to separate dingoes in central Australia from livestock in the SE Australia. From the Great Australia Bight to the south East Qld it winds its way through 5 deserts. Cameron Corner is roughly half way along the 584km section of the fence and midway along the entire structure. Today 15 staff are employed by the W.D.D.B (Wild Dog Destruction Board) to maintain the NSW section of the fence. Cameron Corner Store was first opened by the late Sandy Nall in May 1989. Open 7 days a week 7am - 10pm. Breakfast, evening meals and light meals during the day, minor mechanical and puncture repairs. Unleaded and diesel available
