129th meridian east
Template:Short description Template:Location map-line Template:Side box
The meridian 129° east of Greenwich is a line of longitude[1] that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean, Asia, Australia, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and Antarctica to the South Pole.
The 129th meridian east forms a great circle with the 51st meridian west.
In Australia, the meridian nominally defines the eastern border of Western Australia, and the western borders of the Northern Territory and South Australia.[2] However, the border of Western Australia actually meets the Northern Territory border and South Australian border at the 26th parallel south, at what is known as Surveyor Generals Corner.[3]
