Alpha Airstrip Queensland is located 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) west of the township of Alpha in Queensland, Australia. The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) uses this airstrip and services the local community on a call out basis.
The town of Alpha describes itself as ‘The Gateway to the West’. It is now a small service centre in western Queensland serving the surrounding rural area which is known as one of the richest cattle raising areas in the state. Today it is a quiet town, and is a stopover point for people exploring the vastness of the state. It is known for its impressive display of murals (there are 26 around the town) and its fascinating Fossilised Forest sculpture.
