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:
“He [Roosevelt] has made some speeches that indicate that he is going quite beyond anything that he advocated when he was in the White House, and has proposed a program which is absolutely impossible to carry out except by a revision of the Constitution.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The bugle-call to arms again sounded in my war-trained ear, the bayonets gleamed, the sabres clashed, and the Prussian helmets and the eagles of France stood face to face on the borders of the Rhine.... I remembered our own armies, my own war-stricken country and its dead, its widows and orphans, and it nerved me to action for which the physical strength had long ceased to exist, and on the borrowed force of love and memory, I strove with might and main.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
