I’m sure it’s still the same now, but a few years ago it wasn’t unusual in the Pilbara on a Tuesday morning to have double digit numbers of 737/A320/Fokkers lobbing in and out of half a dozen airfields all within 50NM of each other, all uncontrolled. Throw in a few passing through charter or survey lighties, and it becomes a very busy and risky area to operate in.
