Camooweal Airstrip is located 0.4 nautical miles northeast of Camooweal in QLD<\/a><\/strong>. The airstrip is operated by the Mount Isa City Council and is mainly used by the Royal Flying Doctor Service to support the operation of weekly medical clinics for the Camooweal community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camooweal has always been associated with early aviation history for it had an excellent antbed well-drained aerodrome and was on the international air route long before the runways were sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally however it was just a black soil strip. Ross and Keith Smith flying over in 1919, having been delayed at Anthony\u2019s Lagoon dropped aerial letters one and two, a spark plug and a valve spring which the locals raffled in March, 1920 at 1\/- (one shilling) per ticket in aid of the local hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camooweal Airstrip was much used during WW2 as an available stop on the Inland Ferry Route from the southern states to Darwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
