About Moolawatana Airport
Moolawatana Airport is a small outback aerodrome serving Moolawatana Station, a large pastoral lease in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia. It primarily supports light aircraft, private and charter flights rather than scheduled commercial services.
Located roughly 145 km northeast of Leigh Creek and near the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary, the airstrip provides an aviation access point for remote pastoral country and the Gammon Ranges. It has two runways suited to small aircraft operations.
The airport lies approximately 570 km north of Adelaide, and onward travel is by outback road, usually with a private transfer, 4WD or pre-arranged ground transport. Passenger facilities are limited, so travellers should confirm weather, fuel and access details before flying.
