The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) uses this airstrip and services the local community on a call out basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Alpha describes itself as &#8216;The Gateway to the West&#8217;. It is now a small service centre in western Queensland serving the surrounding rural area which is known as one of the richest cattle raising areas in the state. Today it is a quiet town, and is a stopover point for people exploring the vastness of the state.&nbsp;It is known for its impressive display of murals (there are 26 around the town) and its fascinating Fossilised Forest sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"154\" height=\"336\" data-src=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/AlphaQLDrunwayinfo-1.png\" alt=\"Alpha Airstrip, Queensland - Country Airstrips Australia\" class=\"wp-image-746 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/AlphaQLDrunwayinfo-1.png 154w, https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/AlphaQLDrunwayinfo-1-138x300.png 138w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 154px) 100vw, 154px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 154px;
