About Mulka Airport
Mulka Airport is a small remote airfield in far north South Australia, serving Mulka Station and the surrounding pastoral and desert country. It lies along the Birdsville Track, roughly midway between Marree and Birdsville, and about 154 km north of Marree.
The airport functions mainly as a general aviation and charter landing ground rather than a commercial passenger hub. It has a single unpaved runway, designated 12/30 and approximately 1,000 metres long, used by private, charter and station flights supporting the region's cattle stations and outback travelers.
The airfield sits in a remote part of South Australia, roughly 216 km west of Innamincka, and provides access to the Strzelecki and Tirari Deserts, Lake Eyre and surrounding station country. Road access is via the unpaved Birdsville Track, which suits four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Facilities at the airport are minimal, so visitors should be self-sufficient and plan to use services in Marree. Despite its limited infrastructure, the airfield remains a practical landing point for outback aviation and regional travel.
