07-Oct-2003 -- Whilst planning our trip to Central Australia, I noticed that we would be passing right by this Confluence Point. Even though it has been visited before, it was worth a followup visit as it was over a year since Chris and Karin Weight's visit. It would be interesting to compare visit photos to see if the landscape had changed much due the recent rains.

After about 4 days zig-zagging our way across the Simpson Desert (and finally negotiating a soft and muddy Lake Poeppel) we stopped at the Corner Post for a bit of lunch. I took the opportunity to grab my GPS and Camera and go for a bit of a walk to the Confluence Point. As Chris and Karin pointed out the WGS 84 Confluence Point is 360ish metres from the Corner Post.

I quickly found the point, snapped some photos and returned to the Corner Post to take a few more photos.

We then set out along the QAA Line to Birdsville. Due to recent rains, we had to take diversions around the salt lakes to avoid becoming bogged.

Poeppel Corner, the triple boundary point between the Northern Territory, Queensland, and South Australia is located about 350 m NNW of the Confluence.
