The US Seabees did indeed do a good job when they built this airstrip, and it was still in excellent condition when I was operating there 40 years later. Not bad considering these strips were typically transformed from bushland to an operating airstrip capable of handling heavy bombers in as little as a week.

Maybe we should get them in to sort out the second airport in Sydney!
