Irvingdale Airfield had a 736 meter long airstrip facing NE/SW and a smaller 360 meter airstrip facing NW/SE. The airfield’s actual name isn’t clear. Appears to have gone inactive after 2020 as maintenance of the strip ceased. A larger airfield is located about a kilometre north.
Also know as Tipton Airfield and Heavy Bombardment Field No. 2, Cecil Plains Airfield was built during World War II as part of Brisbane's line of defense. It operated along with three nearby airfields with similar duties, Jondaryan (Brymaroo) Airfield, Condamine Airfield, and Leyburn Airfield. The airfield saw operational use with the No. 12 Squadron RAAF and No. 102 Squadron RAAF.
After the war, it was surplus and the Department of Civil Aviation briefly managed it from 1946 and 1948. In 1961, RAAF Amberley considered plans to open a new bombing range at Cecil Plains, aiming to replace its existing one at Evans Head. However, it was not pursued due to oil prospecting and urban growth. Today, it is abandoned and its runways are somewhat well preserved.
Caboolture’s first airstrip was constructed some time before 1965 by Norman Douglas Thurecht. The initial site of Redcliffe was denied permission due to proximity to Brisbane airports and a lack of radar coverage. Following the construction of Redcliffe Aerodrome, the Caboolture airstrip was abandoned and its operations moved to the new site.
you can expect one one helicopter a day and usually come in later on into the after noon if not sometimes after dark. The most common aircraft here would be a AW139 (either RACQ or Lifeflight). I have to warn people who wish to watch or even video/photograph anything. It is government and is an active hospital. meaning they will be transporting a patient. If you have the courage to ask security to make sure that they are okay with you being there because usually i have no trouble with the security there but i have been questioned before but that's usually jus to make sure i am not recording anything that may include crew or that patient being transported.
