๐ข Terminal Information
Dorunda Airport (YDOR) serves Dorunda Station, a remote pastoral outstation in Queensland, Australia, positioned at coordinates 16ยฐ33'S, 141ยฐ49'E at 90 feet elevation in the vast cattle country of Far North Queensland. The airstrip operates with runway 14/32 and basic infrastructure typical of remote Australian cattle stations, providing essential aviation access for property management, medical emergencies, supplies, and seasonal mustering operations across the extensive pastoral lease.
As a private airstrip serving the Dorunda Outstation, the facility features minimal infrastructure with a basic unsealed runway, wind sock, and emergency shelter rather than traditional passenger terminal facilities. Radio operations use frequencies 126.7 MHz and 118.6 MHz for coordination with visiting aircraft, while all ground services including fuel, accommodation, and vehicle access require advance arrangement with station management due to the property's working cattle station operations.
The nearest public airport is Vanrook Airport located 47.5 kilometers away, highlighting Dorunda's extreme remoteness in Queensland's sparsely populated interior. Pilots and passengers must coordinate with station staff for fuel availability, ground transportation, and overnight accommodation, while bringing essential supplies including drinking water is strongly advised due to the outstation's isolation and self-sufficient operations in one of Australia's most challenging and beautiful frontier regions.

๐ข Terminal Information
Arrabury Airport (AAB) is a highly remote airstrip located near Tanbar, Queensland, Australia, primarily serving the Arrabury Station and surrounding isolated communities. As such, its terminal facilities are rudimentary, if they can even be called a terminal in the conventional sense. It typically consists of a small, open-air shelter or a basic, unstaffed building that acts as a waiting area. The layout is extremely simple: an open area adjacent to the runway for passenger staging. There are no interconnected terminals or complex ground facilities; all operations are confined to this singular, basic setup. Walking times to and from aircraft are mere seconds, directly across the tarmac, emphasizing the remote and functional nature of the facility.\n\nSecurity protocols at Arrabury Airport are virtually non-existent, reflecting its role as a private and general aviation airstrip. Passengers can expect no formal security checkpoints or screening procedures. As it caters exclusively to domestic and often private charter flights, there are no immigration or customs facilities. Travelers should be prepared for a self-sufficient experience, as ground staff are rarely present for routine operations. The focus is purely on facilitating aircraft movements, with passengers expected to coordinate directly with their pilots or charter operators for all aspects of their journey.\n\nAmenities at AAB are exceptionally sparse. There are no retail shops, restaurants, cafes, or dedicated lounges. Passengers are strongly advised to bring all necessary provisions, including food, water, and any comfort items, as there are no services available on-site. Restroom facilities might be extremely basic or non-existent. Accessibility is limited, with no specialized infrastructure beyond ground-level access. Family facilities such as play areas or nursing rooms are not provided. Given its remote location, travelers should anticipate a complete lack of modern airport conveniences and plan accordingly, treating the airstrip as a functional point of departure or arrival rather than a facility offering passenger services.
๐ Connection Tips
Confirm runway condition and fuel availability; primarily GA/charter operations.
