Tiny town of two prepares for New Year’s Eve shindig ‘three times over’

There aren’t many places you can celebrate New Year’s Eve three times over.

But in the middle of Australia, a tiny town is getting ready to do just that.

There are just two permanent residents in the town of Cameron Corner.

“We get three New Year’s here, every half hour,” local Fenn Miller told 9News.

The town is a full day’s drive from any capital city in any direction.

Cameron Corner straddles the border in three states – giving it three separate time zones.

“We go over to the corner post, we do the big happy new year in New South Wales – then we slide into South Australia and half an hour later we do it all again, and half again later we do it all again in Queensland,” said Mr Miller.

“It’s a bit of novelty, and a bit of fun.”

Mr Miller owns the only store for more than 100km, but tonight he’ll have company.

“It’s not a big shindig, but it’s a good intimate shindig,” said Mr Miller.

He has a Queensland liquor licence, a New South Wales postcode, and a South Australian telephone number.

Next year, Ven is inviting you to come and celebrate in Cameron Corner.

“We might have a bit of music and see what goes on,” he said of tonight’s festivities.
