Which Aerodrome Mk III
dook, you are correct. The mystery aerodrome is in Queensland, otherwise known as the Deep North.
Concerning the Black Stump, when you drive beyond it, you are in the GAFA! I remember an Aussie TV ad in the 80s for a Ford Falcon (or possibly a petrol or oil ad), where the video ended with a car driving down a bush track and passing a black stump. Nicely done.

Both terminals in my picture are called "AT Berry Terminal" after Alan Berry who worked at the airport for forty years and used his Ford Falcon as the check-in counter.

Both terminals in my picture are called "AT Berry Terminal" after Alan Berry who worked at the airport for forty years and used his Ford Falcon as the check-in counter.
A young Alan Berry started at Roma Airport two years earlier in 1947 and he saw it grow from the site at the meatworks where there was no terminal, just an old shed. Berry was easily identifiable with his tash, shorts and white socks. He quickly made himself indispensable, doing everything from loading and unloading planes, to managing the bookings and running the airport. He was renowned in the Roma community, as was his famous old blue Falcon ute, which doubled as a check-in centre. The AT Berry terminal named in his honour was formally opened on April 27, 1996. Roma Mayor Barry Braithwaite thanked Flight West Airlines for their support of the airport and congratulated Alan Berry for 40 years of service to air travellers in Roma. “The new centre is modern, giving staff and passengers a degree of comfort and efficiency Mr Berry did not have the opportunity to use,” Mayor Braithwaite said. “Roma Airport has gone from the back of the ‘old Falcon ute’ to a modern check-in area.”
