## Description

Balgo Hill Airport (BQW/YBGO) is the fastest link to the outside world for the Balgo (Wirrimanu) community in the southeastern Kimberley of Western Australia, serving charter, medical and supply flights. There is no cargo terminal, no scheduled airline service and no customs; most goods arrive by truck over unsealed roads that can become impassable in the wet season. Larger air freight consignments are tendered at Broome (BME) or Perth (PER), with Halls Creek (HCQ) and Kununurra (KNX) acting as regional staging points.
