✨ AI-Enhanced Insights

Cherrabun Airport (IATA: CBC) is a small remote airstrip in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, serving Cherrabun Station and nearby pastoral properties. Located about 80 km south of Fitzroy Crossing, it handles light charter and private aircraft rather than scheduled airline service. Facilities are minimal, so travelers should expect basic outback conditions and plan accordingly.

💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors carry a satellite phone and extra water, and they confirm the strip's condition with station staff before departure—wet weather can make the airstrip and access roads unusable for days.
🚖 Getting There

There is no public transport, taxi, or rideshare at CBC. If arriving by road, use a high-clearance 4WD and check road conditions, as the route from Fitzroy Crossing can be affected by wet-season flooding. Charter flights and pre-arranged station transfers are the most reliable options.
