Description

Corunna Downs was a secret airfield located in scrub and spinifex country, about 35 kms south west of Marble Bar in The Pilbara area of Western Australia. Today there are very few reminders of the once busy airfield. 73 OBU operated the Corunna Downs airfield which comprised two intersecting bitumen runways. One ran approximately north-south, 5,000 feet in length while the other ran approximately east-west, 7,000 feet in length. Both runways were approximately 150 feet wide. A 50 foot wide taxiway linked the northern end of the north-south runway to the western end of the east-west runway.
