What's the most obscure airport you've visited?

YFRT Forrest Airport, approx. 130 kms North of Eucla, WA

Accessible by Air, Rail and Road (well Goat track anyway).

Part of Australia’s Aviation and Rail history, an oasis in the outback.

Certainly worthwhile to visit, accommodation available in old DCA cottages, campground facilities in the old BoM site. An interesting museum also located at the old BoM site.
