Proposed Borders
There has been limited consideration on where the southern border of the new state would be. Most seem to be around the central part of the state, just south of Gladstone. Others call for the border to be just south of Mackay, and for another state of Central Queensland be formed. It has also been suggested to merge with the Northern Territory and become the new state of Northern Australia, although this proposal has been dismissed by many, saying that the reason for splitting Queensland is to make a smaller state.

Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or borders:
“It is not always possible to predict the response of a doting Jewish mother. Witness the occasion on which the late piano virtuoso Oscar Levant telephoned his mother with some important news. He had proposed to his beloved and been accepted. Replied Mother Levant: “Good, Oscar, I’m happy to hear it. But did you practice today?””
—Liz Smith (20th century)
“Love works at the centre,
Heart-heaving alway;
Forth speed the strong pulses
To the borders of day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
