In Australia the meridian nominally defines the eastern border of Western Australia with the Northern Territory and South Australia.

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]

From Pole to Pole

Starting at the North Pole and heading south to the South Pole, the 129th meridian east passes through:
