re: GTE
Reply to @Ozguy:
If someone were to convince the locals to allow me to bring my warmblood horses with me, with the understanding that there'd be riding lessons, with dressage, showjumping, eventing, and even barrel racing, would that make the island more fun? Are there edible grasses on this island? Are there a bunch of flightless birds and super rare plants that a few hooves might accidently trample?
Obstacles
There is a fence and trees across the strip :(
Incorrect Elevation
YMBT is actually 1100' AMSL. Refer ERSA, plus I've landed there.

Yes - Berwick closed in 1995-96. Is now a university campus, though some remnants of the runway can stillbe seen, along with a couple of hangars.:

Reply to @david:
Yes Pakenham is now closed. A freeway runs along what was the east-west runway.

Closed?
Received a report that this airport is closed, and the satellite view seems to confirm that.
Closed?
I received an e-mail that this airport is closed and that there's a road through it. I can see no evidence of the road in the satellite shot, but the "Map" view does show a road crossing the runway. I've marked it as closed for now - can any locals confirm?
Status unknown
Does this strip really exist?

re: One runway only
Reply to @ptomblin: I'll assume for now that that is the correct location.
re: One runway only
If you click "Show Points of Interest", is that marker on what you mean?
One runway only
The location on the picture is due south of the aeroplane icon. You can see the east/west runway just north of the buildings and hedgeline. It is actually at the CFA training facility.

Ring ahead and confirm again on the day!

On the way to Victoria from Marcus.
Returning to Victoria from Perth, Port Lincoln and so on in company with another C172, we refueled at Aldinga and due to a deteriorating weather forecast for the Melbourne Geelong area, we elected to spend the night.
The person (lady) who seemed to be the manageress in the school could not have been more unhelpful with regard finding us some accommodation for the night.
Whilst thinking about what to do we met a really nice couple who own a hanger at Aldinga and they went out of their way to help us. Booked us into a lovely reasonably priced motel and picked us up in the morning and took us back to the airfield.
What rating should we give Aldinga? Gorgeous scenery and lovely location but not impressed with the service or unhelpful attitude.
re: YADG
You must be thinking about some other airport, or are you dreaming?
Beware
Very friendly if they can get some money off you. Otherwise arrogant, do not do as we do, do as we say. Fly odd circuits and illegal right hand circuits.
Exercise extreme caution when approaching and in the circuit as no consideration toward others.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG
You will either get abused or dobbed in to CASA.
2 rules, one for them and one for others.
Such a shame as is beautiful setting that deserves better.
Care Needed - John Ryner
Yes they have a reputation for dobbing aviators in to CASA – I was warned!
The school is called Adelaide Biplanes, they have some kind of mental problem.
Just stick to rules and you will be OK, there own students can do what they like.
Also beware of aircraft landing in any direction on any strip at the same time – its pretty crazy – well it was when I landed there a few time on my SA holiday.
Dobber
Don't do a go-round he flying school will ping you to CASA for low flying
In fact don't do anything wrong here - leafe that to them - two standards!!!!

Thanks for the update -- I can see a ditch or path cut across the runway in the satellite view.

5 Star William Creek - don't miss it
Fabulous place, fabulous people. Hats off to Trevor, Mim and Edwina for a truly memorable stay at the William Creek Hotel. Couldn't have asked for more.
Glider winch launch
Glider strip only, no aerotow, winch launch only: The old V8 powered contraption will slingshot you up to 1000ft AGL in 40 sec, completely exhilarating!
Away from it all!!!
Just flew in: Great retreat with access to the beach and safe swimming!
Notes
Short (440m), marginal airstrip.
re: wrong coordinate
Made the change.
wrong coordinate
The listed coordinate is in the middle of the ocean!
Maybe try this one: 35.7550 S 137.9583 E
re: YHOX closed
Reply to @Yannick: Bugger!!!!
YHOX closed
And the first thing they did is bulldoze the runway :/

re: Airport or helipad ?
Reply to @Zoran: Absolutely right -- I checked the Australia AIP online to confirm, then edited the listing.
Airport or helipad ?
It doesn't look like an airport. Perhaps it's mean Westmead Hospital helipad (33.8052 S, 150.9892 E) ?
re: Wrong Place
I've moved the airport marker to what looks like an airstrip near those coordinates.
Wrong Place
Airport shown in wrong location
Try about -43 15' 147 23'
