Looks like Tjukayeerla (Sp?) before they made it a flash strip on the road.

ga_trojan was correct - and it is sealed in the photo - the photo's size reduction makes it difficult.

Ah, Tjunjun. roll out the barrel and pump like hell.
I got stuck at Tjukayirla for three days due weather. before it had a strip. I landed about where the current strip is, but it was just a road then. made for an interesting departure too. I have some great super low level photos from then, but they have to be scanned.
Not all of us in the desert have worked for GAS.
not for want of trying though.

Chuckles is close - cept YMBA is sealed.
Squarky's on the money!
"And the sunrise is over the top of Hinchinbrook" Dunno! That's a very good guess (
throws the Squarka a lollipop )!
Its either the northern tip of Hinchinbrook or the northern tip of Orpheus Is.
I guess I'll just have to go back and take another look.

Interesting that there is no Terrain Warning on the GNS430 given that there is a hill off to the right! I guess it has somehow figured that I am going to land!
