## Description

Roughly 40 kilometres south of Marble Bar in the Pilbara, Corunna Downs marks the site of a secret RAAF heavy-bomber base laid out in 1942 on a pastoral station. It was abandoned after the war, leaving only remnants of the two runways and the camouflaged dispersal areas; there is no scheduled or freight traffic and no freight relevance whatsoever. Air cargo for the mining region is handled through Port Hedland (PHE) and Newman (ZNE).
