About South Galway Airport
South Galway Airport is a small regional airfield serving South Galway Station and the surrounding outback area of the Shire of Barcoo in Queensland, Australia. It supports general aviation, private flights and local station operations rather than scheduled airline services.
Located approximately 61 km southwest of Windorah, the airport is set in remote outback Queensland and is reached by road across long distances between regional towns. It has a single sand runway, designated 08/26, with a length of about 1,089 metres.
The airport operates as a public-use airfield on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10). Its isolated setting means travellers should plan fuel, supplies and ground transport carefully before arriving or departing.
For onward travel, access is generally by private vehicle, pre-arranged transfer or charter flight, with Windorah being the nearest town for fuel and basic services.
