Remote outback airstrip serving the Western Australian goldfields region.
Location
Cosmo Newbery, Australia
Yamarna Airport is a small, remote airstrip located in the Cosmo Newbery area of Western Australia, situated in the Gibson Desert fringe region of the state. It serves the Cosmo Newbery Aboriginal community and surrounding pastoral and mining interests in a sparsely populated part of the eastern goldfields.
The airport operates as an uncontrolled aerodrome and is used primarily for general aviation, community access, and resource industry operations. It does not support scheduled commercial airline services and lacks the infrastructure of larger regional airports.
Given its remote location, the airstrip plays a vital role in connecting the isolated community to essential services, given that road access to the area is limited and largely unsealed.
