    No. It is in Australia. The major international airport that it is close to is at sea level and on flat land. There is an aboriginal cultural centre close to the international airport.
    The airfield I am looking for is primarily a GA airfield, is only half an hours' drive away from the major international, is quite a bit above sea level but also on a large flatland area. It played quite an important role in the Battle of the Coral Sea during WW2.
    If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

                            Yes...haven't got a clue. It looks sort of old Cessna'ish but that's an awful long tailwheel strut !
