MacCabe Corner

View of MacCabe Corner (red circle) from the International Space Station, facing south. The Victoria–South Australia border is visible as a straight line, with dark uncultivated land in Victoria on the left (east) and light-coloured arable land in South Australia on the right (west). The Murray River runs through the centre. The NSW–SA border (lower part of image) is not visible from the air as both areas are nature reserves. Encounter Bay is at upper right.

MacCabe Corner is the name given to the south-west corner of the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 82 kilometres (51 mi) west of the town of Wentworth, New South Wales, on a bend of the Murray River. MacCabe Corner is named for Francis MacCabe, a surveyor who did considerable work exploring and mapping New South Wales, in particular the rivers of the Murray-Darling basin.
