airstrip at Pt Stanvac, SA?

[cooperplace]

I spotted what looks like a strip on the SA Dept of Transport map, and can also see it on google earth. East-west. Does anyone know anything about this strip?

 

thanks

It's longish and skinnyish possibly flatish

Do you mean Huntfield? That is north south though! It is a private strip I think, bit rough, I have only done a couple of touch and goes on it! You can Google it up on "ourairports"

Huntfield is pretty close... as far as I'm aware there is no other strip between Adelaide and Aldinga.

Give it a try, let us know!

no, it's not Huntfield. It runs parallel to Sullivan Ave.

Not the model aeroplane club O'Halloran Hill? Corner of Majors Rd and Lonsdale Rd....

Are you looking at the road to the helipad at -35.1143 138.4842 ? About 800m long and 3m wide with the odd tree/shrub within 2m of centreline? Port Stanvac Oil Refinery. Could have been an airstrip in times past.

that's it. Yes, it looks like it was an airstrip once. Those shrubs would make it interesting.........
