More likely a fairly wide angle lens I would suggest.
I've spent this evening searching just about every Australian coastal airfield and... it's time for my bed!
I dunno... it's in Oz!

while the answer you give is indeed correct it is so vague ...
c'mon where is it?
I'll give you a totally useless clue.
see the aeroplane on the tarmac just under the strut. well if you stand behind that aircraft at the edge of the bitumen at night time, in the entire 360 degree sweep around the horizon there is not the slightest hint of a man made light.
it is so dark at night that you can see all the subtle graduations in the Magellanic clouds of the milky way. Lying on the bitumen is incredibly uncomfortable but do it and the stars are so bright that they appear to be just off the end of your extended arm. You can see stars all the way down to magnitude 9 I think. A most amazing view.

not really a useless clue.
the nights are so dark that there is no light pollution from a nearby city.
hence it is not near a city.
let me taunt you further
does the landscape look like cane fields?
does it look like the great dividing range?
does it look like the rolling hills of new south wales?
does the environment look tropical?
no?
well it is probably nowhere near those parts of australia.
would you say that it looked like an ancient landscape?
where are the oldest landscapes on the planet?
believe it or not people holiday nearby.

John this isn't about seaplanes.
you gotta name the airfield.
certainly a lot closer than Port Augusta as a guess.

Sir you have just won a virtual cupie doll and the need to discuss with Airclues as to who puts up the next airfield challenge.
Well done John.
Denham is on the side of Shark Bay in Western Australia. It is a fishing and tourist destination on the way to Monkey Mia.
In the nearby Hamelin Pool are the oldest living structures on the planet. Stromatolites are 2,500 million years old and predate the evolution of animals.
that is the airfield off in the background.

I jumped in because Airclues couldn't get a slide into electronic format.
so I defer to him.
John if you can't post a challenge airfield I'll give you another.
south island or north island?
