00:00Do you know that the borders of the Australian states seem completely right on this card, but they are in
00:04reality, they are far away from it?
00:05If you zoom in the West, you will notice that the oriental frontier is slightly here, creating an average of
00:11127 meters.
00:12But how did that happen?
00:13At the time where the borders were traced, the geomètres decided to place them along the 129th Méridien.
00:19They started to trace them from the opposite sides of the country, hoping to gain the time and join the
00:24middle.
00:24Without surprise, they were not at all. Instead of correcting the error, they simply trace a horizontal line to connect
00:30the points.
00:31However, there is another right frontier with a particularity cachet.
00:35The frontier between the Victoria and the Nouvelle Gale du Sud has an even more important deviation.
00:40It was supposed to follow the 141th Méridien, but was traced by error 3,2km east of the previous line.
00:47When the error was discovered, the Nouvelle Gale du Sud has replaced its right frontier.
00:51The Victoria, on the other hand, chose to preserve the land that he had declared,
00:55which we leave today with its strange borders.
