Throughout our outback aerial adventure, we visited a range of airfields and aerodromes. From dusty and remote strips to larger, paved airfields servicing small cities, our team saw a wide collection of aerodromes.
The following list provides helpful tips and advice for operating in some of NSW and Queensland's regional and remote aerodromes.
For the latest information about any aerodromes, check the En Route Supplement Australia (ERSA) available on Airservices website.
We're always looking for the latest photos of regional and rural aerodromes. If you have any recent photos of aerodromes mentioned on this page and would like to share, feel free to get in touch through our contact us form. We can then contact you about the best way to share your photos on the website.
