South Australia (SA)

South Australia was the fourth colony of Australia to be proclaimed – effected on the 19th February 1836.

Though the borders have moved great distances since that time, the state has reverted to almost the original proclaimed – though the western border did move in a westward direction to meet the Western Australian border . . .

The Northern Territory was once annexed to South Australia, which was later revoked; and there were some discrepancies due to the inaccuracy of the surveying instruments of the time, that until this very day, cause the borders to not follow a straight line – examine the junction between it and Victoria . . .
