The Burketown Aerodrome in QLD is owned and operated by Burke Shire Council. It primarily caters for Emergency Services, light aircraft and helicopters. The Aerodrome is situated one nautical mile south-west of the town of Burke.
Burketown proudly announces to the world that it is ‘The Barramundi Capital of Australia’. This small town on the flat plains of the Gulf near the Albert River is really nothing more than a school, a pub, a couple of service stations, a council office, and some general stores. The primary appeal of the town is its access to excellent barramundi fishing locations and the opportunity to visit the remarkable Boodjamulla National Park.
