Australian Trivia Only

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Lucindale, SA ran one for a few years on the Field Days site.
Quambatook, Vic probably had the longest run that I know of.
Longford, Vic weren't far behind too.
I reckon there was another over in Gippsland & another over on the Eyre Peninsula?

Hmmm.... transverse can be at 90* to the long axis or cross a particular area. Either meaning I think the answer is 0. It is in SA, follows the SA/NSW border into Qld but doesn't actually enter NSW ...... unless the argument about all borders are actually part of NSW the same as the Murray River .... The surveyor must have gone to the same training school as the surveyor for the Gunbarrel Highway .....

Looks like Ray got it right sort of :? :lol: I said it was zero states because none of the states actually had the fence going across them from one border to the other .... but I got that wrong as well, it does actually go from the sea border in SA to Cameron's corner (think that's the name) where it enters Qld, so it does transverse SA, but none of the other states. The one is WA doesn't go from one border to the other and the one in Qld enters and ends along the same border, just a long way apart.
