14-Sep-2003 -- As a resident of Broken Hill, I decided to try my first visit to a confluence that was a short distance away and easy to reach.

I headed out of Broken Hill at around midday and arrived in Cockburn half an hour later. From Cockburn I turned due north along a track that was in good condition. I followed this track along a fenceline (SA/NSW border?) for about 8km. I simply drove until I hit 32° S and stopped. The confluence was about 100m off the track to the west. From the photos you can see I had very little in the way of obstacles to negotiate to reach the confluence.

After a quick internal celebration and the snapping of a few photos I returned to Broken Hill. It was a pleasant 2 hour jaunt on a Sunday afternoon.

The first image is approx 15m from the confluence smack in the middle of the frame.

I thought the fence marked the NSW-SA border but I later found two border survey marks just north of Cockburn that suggested that the track rather than the fence approximated the actual border.

The demarcation line with New South Wales is passing about 105 m east of the Confluence.
