Remote outback airstrip serving the Gibson Desert region.
Location
Cosmo Newbery, Australia
Tjukayirla Roadhouse Airstrip is a small, remote airstrip located in the Gibson Desert of Western Australia, associated with the Tjukayirla Roadhouse along the Great Central Road. It serves as a basic landing facility for light aircraft accessing one of Australia's most isolated outback locations.
The airstrip primarily supports general aviation, including charter flights, emergency services, and supply runs to the remote roadhouse and surrounding areas. The nearest significant community is Cosmo Newbery, itself a remote Aboriginal community in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.
Given its extremely remote location, the facility offers no commercial airline services and only minimal infrastructure. It is an essential lifeline for the small population and travellers passing through this vast, sparsely populated desert region.
Getting to & from
The airstrip is accessed via the Great Central Road, a remote unsealed outback highway, with no formal public ground transport available.
