Quilpie Airport QLD
Quilpie Airport in QLD services the nearby town of Quilpie. It is located 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) west of Quilpie and operated by the Quilpie Shire Council.
Quilpie is the administrative centre of a shire which covers 67,663 sq. km of western Queensland. In the 21st century the shire’s population fell below 1,000 people with approximately half of those living in the town. Beyond the town and the tiny settlements of Toompine and Eromanga lie the deserts and marginal lands of western Queensland with their endless sand dunes, scrubby mulga and gidgee vegetation, dirt roads heavy with bulldust, annual rainfall of less than 350 mm and summer temperatures which have been known to reach 47°C (116.8°F).
The primary attraction of the area is fossicking for the beautiful boulder opals. A bonus is that the altar in the local church has, uniquely, been made from these valuable stones.
