Mabuiag Island Airport QLD
Mabuiag Island Airport in QLD is a small airport, and has the shortest runway for commercial use in Australia.
The island of Mabuiag (formerly known as Jervis Island or traditionally known as Gumu), is an island in the Bellevue Islands, 100km north of Thursday Island. It lies in the Napoleon Passage and Arnolds Passage of Torres Strait.
The people of Mabuiag Island are one of the Melanesian Torres Strait Islander populations. Mabuiag is partly covered with mounds of basaltic rocks, lightly vegetated and mostly well-watered.
Like the larger Moa and Badu Islands to the south, Mabuiag is part of the old, submerged land bridge that ran from Cape York to Papua New Guinea.
The Mabuiag Island Airport is considered one of the most scenic airstrips in Australia.
