Walgett Airport NSW

Walgett Airport in NSW has an air-conditioned passenger terminal, with separate Male/Female toilets, and seating.
The airport supports an amazing amount of traffic, including:

  • RFDS
  • Emergency Services
  • Police
  • Government Officials
  • Visiting aircraft, and
  • Hangar and parking facilities

The Airport services the town of Walgett, and surrounding areas. Near the junction of the Namoi and Barwon Rivers in remote northwest NSW, Walgett is a friendly Outback town full of charm and adventure. Once a busy paddle-steamer port, the village marks the northern gateway to the opal fields of Lightning Ridge and the epic Darling River Run road trip.
