It should definitely not be named after Sir Hubert Wilkins. Currently the Australian Antarctic Division airfield in the Antarctic is appropriately named the Wilkins Runway as Sir Hubert was intimately involved in that continent.
This is not to decry the greatness of this largely forgotten Australian.
As previously suggested Sydney Badgery's Creek is quite acceptable thanks.
