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.

WW2 bomber base. Not much to see but runways and earthworks built to protect parked bombers. Some 40 raids were launched from here on targets in Indonesia buy US Liberator bombers.
