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.

I just looked on a block of cheese in the fridge.
mainland cheese. company address in Auckland.
so the small island is the mainland and the big island is the other one.
ok got it.
how about Taupo?

I was using the googleometer to find a photo of Timaru and in the list was a shot of milford. not quite the right angle but with a long valley off into the distance that looked a possibility.
definitely a SWAG. (scientific wild arsed guess)

well this photo was taken on a 42 degrees C day.
it was a famous gold mining area in its day.
the Cherokee in the shot took off from Newman 20 minutes before me and I beat him in.
apologies to the poms who may never have seen the sky before.

You have got me on that one!
Obviously still in WA by the flag on the pole and enough water to keep the trees and grass green. Also looks like Air Services Australia radio masts so there might have been a FSS there in the past.
Nope, no ideas at all!

hmmm.
it is within bladder and fuel distance of Newman.
in the middle of town is a park and in that park is a little steam engine.
it is about 115 years old and is the only Haine St Pierre locomotive imported into Australia. Haine St Pierre being the famous Belgian locomotive makers.
the local aboriginal people are Wadjarie. wonderful people really.
c'mon you poms it isnt that hard. (deliberately not easy though)
dont be fooled by grass in the photos. we make a lot of use of bore fields in the arid climate.

Sir that is your second Qupie doll. congratulations.
the poms arent doing too well are they. thank heaven we arent from Canada.
over to you.
yes that is the refuelling apron of Meekatharra Airport. once a thriving gold mining centre with regular airline flights. the airport is maintained by the local council in rather superb condition for the one private flight a day that usually passes through for refuelling.

Thanks, but you practically told me the name of the place!
It was 1969 when I was last in WA and I doubt I will ever be back but I sure enjoyed the experience. I took a slow train to Geraldton from Perth and flew back on an F28 of MMA(?) Then went south of Perth to Albany and later got the train to Sydney, via Adelaide.
Those poms should be in the office any time now as it is coming up to 11 a.m.?
I declare Open House, bearing in mind that Airclues has got a turn owing to him.

Rottnest Island, WA?
But, if I read you correctly W8, you're declaring Open House so here's one from me:

Dora you are absolutely correct on both counts. so the Qewpie doll goes to you.
I'm assuming that your photo is in colour and so this is england?

Dora you cunning bugger.
The use of false colour nearly had me.
that is Maylands Aerodrome in Perth. Once the home airfield of the Royal Aero Club then phased out as an airfield and used as The police advanced driving school.

while we are waiting for evidence of english life....
let me introduce the GAFA. this the name given to the cultural intrigues and stunning landscape of the large interior of our continent. Gafa is said as a word but is in fact an acronym of a fairly frustrated description. It in fact translates as "the great australian F**k all", testimony to the fact that the greatest navigational landmark out near the horizon is bound to be the shadow of a cloud.
this airfield is somewhere in the gafa.
