150th Meridian East

I drove my daughter down to Wagga Wagga on Saturday, where she is just starting another year at Charles Sturt University.  We always stop for a cup of tea and a sandwich at Marulan.  God knows why, it's just a tradition.

This is Marulan, a town in the Southern Tablelands region of New South Wales, near Goulburn.  Well, hardly a town - just a few houses, a pub and an ould railway station.

Marulan lies close to the Hume Highway, which used to run through the town until the highway bypassed the town. Marulan lies on the 150th meridian. When I say on the 150th meridian, I mean right on it !  The "line" runs right through the spot where I am standing.

It's so exciting.
