It is located 1&nbsp;nautical mile&nbsp;(1.9&nbsp;km) west of Quilpie and operated by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shire_of_Quilpie\" target=\"_blank\">Quilpie Shire Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quilpie is the administrative centre of a shire which covers 67,663 sq. km of western Queensland.&nbsp; In the 21st century the shire&#8217;s population fell below 1,000 people with approximately half of those living in the town. Beyond the town and the tiny settlements of&nbsp; 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\u00b0C (116.8\u00b0F). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/QuilpieRunwaysQLD.jpg\" alt=\"Quilpie Airport Runway layout, QLD\" class=\"wp-image-6151 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/QuilpieRunwaysQLD.jpg 550w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/QuilpieRunwaysQLD-300x196.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 550px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 550\/360;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/QuilpieRunwaysQLD.jpg\" alt=\"Quilpie Airport Runway layout, QLD\" class=\"wp-image-6151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/QuilpieRunwaysQLD.jpg 550w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/QuilpieRunwaysQLD-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#dcf1f8\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Elevation<\/strong><br>655<\/td><td><strong>Area Forecast<\/strong><br>41<\/td><td><strong>Strip Direction<\/strong><br>  09  \/  27   :   18  \/  36<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>GPS Position<\/strong><br>  26\u00b0 3631 <strong>S<\/strong><br>  144\u00b0 1526 <strong>E<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>ALA Code<\/strong><br>  YQLP<br><\/td><td><strong>Strip Length<\/strong><br> 1493   :   1070<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>WAC Chart<\/strong><br>3341<\/td><td><strong>FIA<\/strong><br>Brisb Centre    118.8    7000ft<\/td><td><strong>Strip Surface<\/strong><br> Sealed    :     Sand Clay<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Owner\/Operator<\/strong><br>Quilpie Shire Council<br><strong><a href=\"tel:0746560500\" class=\"ek-link\">07 4656 0500<\/a><\/strong><br><strong>ARO<\/strong>   <strong><a href=\"tel:0419230115\" class=\"ek-link\">0419 230 115<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Windsock<\/strong><br> <strong>1 <\/strong>&#8211; Each end of RWY 09\/27 LH side of THR<br> <strong>1 <\/strong>&#8211; Eastern side of TWY<\/td><td><strong>ASIC Security\/VIS Vest<\/strong><br>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel<\/strong><br>AVGAS and JetA1 bowser<br>Credit cards<\/td><td><strong>Distance to Town<\/strong><br>     1 NM<\/td><td><strong>Lighting<\/strong><br> 09 \/ 27   PAL + AA   120.6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aircraft Parking<\/strong><br>Yes<\/td><td><strong>Transport<\/strong><br><\/td><td><strong>Landing Fees<\/strong><br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-black-color has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Special Procedures and Comments: <\/strong>   CTAF 126.7<br><br><strong>Caution<\/strong>:  Animal hazards.<br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/quilpie-queensland\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Nearest Town<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td>Accommodation<\/td><td>Restaurants<\/td><td>Attractions<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6150,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","listing-category":[118],"list-tags":[],"location":[116],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v14.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Quilpie Airport QLD - Security control airport | Country Airstrips Australia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Quilpie Airport in QLD services the nearby town of Quilpie.
