Theda Station Airport (TDN/YTHD) is a remote bush airstrip serving Theda Station and the surrounding Drysdale River area in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is primarily used by charter and private aircraft, providing access to cattle country, Aboriginal lands, and nearby wilderness areas. The unsealed strip has no regular scheduled passenger service, so all arrivals should be pre-arranged.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to confirm the strip's condition and landing permission directly with Theda Station before departure, and to pack for extreme heat, dust, and limited communications.
🚖 Getting There
Ground access is usually arranged through Theda Station or a Kimberley tour operator, as there is no public transport at the airstrip. Most visitors arrive on charter flights that connect from Kununurra, Broome, or Darwin, then continue by station vehicle or guided 4WD. If self-driving, confirm road conditions and permits well ahead, because tracks in the Drysdale River area can be impassable in the wet season.
