Morney Airport (OXY)

Morney Airport (OXY) is a remote domestic aviation facility located in the Channel Country of Central West Queensland, Australia. Situated on Morney Station in the Barcoo Shire, approximately 75 miles (120 km) west of Windorah, the airport functions as a basic regional landing ground and does not feature a formal commercial passenger terminal building. It acts as a critical infrastructure link for the station's logistics, mail runs, and emergency medical services in the deep Outback.

Facilities at the airstrip are extremely minimal, typically consisting of an open-air waiting area or basic shelter used for station operations. There are no on-site commercial amenities such as retail shops, cafes, or public Wi-Fi, and the facility is unattended by permanent airport staff. Travelers and visiting pilots are advised to be completely self-sufficient and to coordinate all logistics, including food, water, and fuel requirements, directly with Morney Station management prior to arrival.

The airfield features an unpaved dirt and gravel runway which is highly sensitive to local weather conditions and can become unusable after heavy rain. While there is no scheduled commercial airline service, the airport is an essential point for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) and private charter flights. Ground access is via the Diamantina Developmental Road, and visitors should be prepared for the extreme isolation and challenging environmental conditions characteristic of this part of Queensland.
