Almost directly beneath the most direct route between Bankstown and Hamilton Island, but in line with Emerald and Rockhampton is a little dirt strip nestled behind the Dingo Roadhouse. There are no refuelling facilities for the plane, but the food was fabulous. A great pit stop to stretch the legs and refill the belly. There were also cabins if you wanted to stay for the evening.
The strip was in good condition, with a windsock, and approx 600-700m. We called ahead to ask about strip condition but no one at the roadhouse really knew. They did advise that people had flown in recently, so felt confident to give it a whirl. After a scouting flyby we landed and with no regrets. Fish and chips were a knock out!
Great pit stop.
