Adavale Info

[skyfox99]

I'm looking to do a flight to Adavale to the west of Charaville in February.

 

Does anyone have any info on this Airstrip?

 

I have a phone number for the Adavale Pub/Shop but no answer a yet.

 

Maybe someone here can has info.

 

Thank you,

Try phoning the council on Monday... There is almost certainly an airstrip for the RFDS

Looking around there does not seem to be much around indicating a nearby airstrip.

 

Smack bang in the middle of a national park, so I wouldn't like your chances

Airstrips are to the north-west on the Blackall Road. Nothing much at Adavale. The shop is shut until mid January so I would be surprised if there is anyone in town.

 

It's one of those places that was surveyed for a township and then the railway never arrived. I had friends who worked on a nearby property. Early 1990's, when I worked for the Lands Dept, I got a call from Quilpie Shire Council looking for the owners of several blocks in Adavale. Most were bought in the late 1800's and for some reason were never transferred on death and so it had been decades since they had received any rates. I moved on so I don't know if they ever did sell them for arrears of rates. At one stage there were blocks being offered for $1 in the hope that someone would take them over and pay the rates.

 

Good outback experience - good fishing.

Adavale airstrip is marked on the WAC chart, but having trouble finding out any info for it.

 

I would think the Quilpie Council would be my best place to start.
