Birdsville Airstrip Queensland<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birdsville Airstrip<\/strong> Queensland<\/strong> is an airport serving the town of Birdsville<\/a>, Queensland, Australia. During the Birdsville Races<\/a> weekend each September, as many as 200 light aircraft visit the airport, with aviators permitted to camp under the wings of their planes. The Channel Mail Run<\/a>, the world’s longest mail run operates between Port Augusta, South Australia and Birdsville, stopping in the town to collect mail for the remote Queensland cattle stations of Glengyle and Durrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 2011, a $1.5 million upgrade was completed which included the construction of a new terminal building, resurfacing and the installation of edge lights on runway 14\/32 and extensions to the apron area to provide more aircraft parking and manoeuvring space.<\/p>\n\n\n
