About Wrotham Park Airport
Wrotham Park Airport is a small rural airfield at Wrotham Park Station in the Mareeba Shire of Far North Queensland. It primarily supports the working cattle station and its outback lodge, with regional air services connecting the property to Cairns.
The airport sits on the Burke Developmental Road in remote station country near the Mitchell River, about 287 km west-northwest of Cairns. It has a single unsealed runway, designated 06/24 and approximately 910 m long, which is used by small aircraft and regional flights.
Travelers typically reach the airfield by regional or charter flights from Cairns, a journey of roughly 40 minutes, or by a long four-wheel-drive road trip through Mareeba and Chillagoe. This makes the airport an important access point for outback tourism, station visits and remote community travel.
Passenger facilities are limited and designed for remote-area operations, so most services such as accommodation, dining and vehicle hire are arranged in Cairns or through the station lodge before arrival.
