Flyabout Adventure around Australia's Coast - Horn Island

Here's an interesting place to land - Horn Island, Queensland.

This airstrip is actually Thursday Island's Airport because there's no room on Thursday Island.

These islands are located in the Torres Strait off the top of Cape York Peninsula, near the very tip of the Australian mainland.


Here pilots have to land in one direction and take off in another direction because of the hills at the end of the runway. Not a good idea to fly into a hill instead of the wide blue yonder!
