How about Townsville (Garbutt) airfield.

The nose art shows the aircraft to be "Miss Giving" of the 380th BG.
See MISS GIVING for the aircraft's history.
They operated from Fenton airstrip near Darwin, but Google does not show any decent ridges nearby at that location.
However, Townsville was/is a military airfield with a substantial ridge in the circuit area and I expect the aircraft passed through there at some stage.
