Eulo Airstrip QLD
Eulo Airstrip in QLD services the nearby town of Eulo, and surrounding farms, small communities and the RFDS.
The small outback town is the first in Australia to have diesel powered lanterns installed at this airstrip. Mr Nick Tully, an RFDS pilot, came up with the idea of diesel-powered lanterns that can be seen from air up to 48 kilometres away. Eulo is currently trialling these devices.
From above, Eulo looks as if it simply doesn’t exist — a cluster of small buildings barely visible from the air, swallowed up by red dirt and mulga trees.The south-west Queensland town, around 900 kilometres from Brisbane, prides itself on its quirky community of 95 residents.
But life in the outback isn’t always easy, especially during medical emergencies. “The sense of space and distance is a challenge out here … if we have a medical emergency, it’s all systems go,” long-time local Nan Pike, considered the town’s unofficial mayor, said. Remoteness, harsh weather and social isolation come with the territory.
“It’s a safe and virtually fail-proof system,” Mr Tully said. “The idea behind the lanterns is that there’s no maintenance required.
