About Tanbar Airport
Tanbar Airport (TXR) is a small remote airstrip located at Tanbar Station, a working cattle station in the Channel Country of outback Queensland, Australia. The airstrip serves private, charter and station flights rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. The airport has a single unsealed runway and basic airstrip facilities, with no separate passenger terminal complex. It sits roughly 87 km southwest of Windorah and about 240 km northeast of Innamincka, making it a useful access point for travellers visiting the remote Channel Country. Access is by road, and most visitors arrange four-wheel-drive transfers or private vehicles in advance because public transport and standard taxi services are not available in the area. Onward journeys typically continue to Windorah, Innamincka or other outback Queensland destinations. Despite its limited facilities, Tanbar Airport plays a practical role as a local aviation gateway for station operations, charter flights and visitors exploring this isolated part of Queensland.
