Information

Located within the former Corunna Downs station lies this now totally abandoned and demolished area that was once a site for US airforce bombers during WWII. A visit will reveal a sense of what it once was if you view the map layout and drive around inspecting the aircraft bay bunkers etc. A few ruins laying about but not much is left.
