Here is a read only link to the Aerodrome Database - WhichAerodrome.xlsx. Up to date as of 1/5/2019. Catching up slowly - up to May 2019 now (Mar 2020).
Here are some "rules" for Which Aerodrome. These are based upon the original suggestions from the very first thread, and have a few additions. Also please be patient as when you are active others may be asleep.
 Thanks to Self Loading Bear for suggesting that we use a wiki. Which Aerodrome I Which Aerodrome II nvubu.

Is it a Port of Entry?
LFH,
No, but correct hemisphere.

A clue. This airstrip and the nearby tourist resort are both named after the hills in the background.
Edited to avoid sending people in the wrong direction. The name does not include any of the following words: hill, mountain, range, ridge, escarpment.

Terrain looks like somewhere in the Kimberleys - Bungle Bungles perhaps?
Right or wrong, I must say how nice it is to return to the slow process of clues and reasoning rather than Google photo matching!
Edit: No response from India Four Two yet and I'm offline for a while from now so if by any chance I'm correct, please throw open.

We're making progress here.
cgb and SI,
Having looked at some pictures of Hex River Valley I can see why you might think that. Wearing my geologist's hat, I think I would have started looking in South Africa too.
However, this aerodrome is not in that part of Gondwanaland. Max Tow is closer
Here's the front lawn of the resort:

To see that part of South Australia looking so green had me totally foxed, but I recognize the kangaroo on the left!
Wilpena Homestead perhaps?
If so, OH.

Yes, I thought it was Skippy, too, but I don't see any butcher birds in the trees.
The airstrip and resort at Wilpena Pound, SA. The airstrip picture must have been taken after a big wet. I went there once and it was a typical dry, dusty outback scene.
I knew as soon as I posted that picture of the resort, you or one of your Ozzie mates would get it.
Wilpena Pound is a spectacular eroded syncline in the Flinders Ranges. The airstrip is in the flat, yellowish area in the centre right. The white area at the top left is the salt flats of Lake Torrens.
Dora-9 has declared Open House.
