There are two other points in Australia where New Year's Eve can be
celebrated three times in one night. I'm pretty sure they also both have
names (someone's Corner) but I'm not sure of them. I haven't heard the
slightest whisper about them in the media, even here in Australia (though
lots about Cameron's corner), perhaps partly because not a soul lives near
them. One is where South Australia (+10:30 in summer), Northern Territory
(+09:30) and Queensland (+10:00) meet (Poeppel's Corner?), and the other is
exactly 9 degrees west of it where the third is Western Australia (+08:00)
instead of Queensland.
