Few places in outback Australia are more iconic than Cameron Corner, and the region that radiates out from Cameron Corner is known as the Corner Country (an area encompassing New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia). While the Murray-Darling Basin does not extend to Cameron Corner, a lot of the Corner Country does and there are some great touring routes that link the two.
