Following receipt of the calculation the RGSA, Queensland, placed a plaque on the site in 1988.

I will stand corrected but I think it is Cockle Creek Tasmania, wish we could have spent more time there, such a peaceful place it is surreal and unreal at the same time

Post by: krisandkev on April 23, 2011, 08:55:28 AM: Agree with Cockle Creek Tasmania. The road there is also the most southerly road in Australia you can drive on, and then you have to do a walk to the southernmost point. (Not withstanding other islands.) Fantastic camping grounds!
You could also ask, what is the highest mountain in Australia, including its territories? ???
