Its location makes it a convenient staging point for the Yilgarn Shire and the Eastern Goldfields.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors call ahead to confirm fuel, access, and runway conditions, and they plan daylight arrivals because the airport is quiet, lighting may be limited, and wildlife can be present near the strip at dawn or dusk.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from Southern Cross town centre, so a car or pre-arranged transfer is the most practical way to get to and from the field. There is no regular public bus service to the airport, and taxis or ride-share may be limited, so book ground transport ahead. Charter operators can often help arrange local pickup if requested in advance.
