On Base for Runway 35 Clare Valley

The Aerodrome construction commenced in 2010 and is ongoing .Having established the Aerodrome we have ccreated an aerial gateway to he Clare Valley and surrounding regions.

The Clare Valley is a the perfect stop-off location between the South and the North (from Adelaide to the Flinders Ranges and beyond), and the West and the East, (between Western Australia and Victoria). It's also an easy flight to regional Queensland and the Top End.

With a Magnificent 18 Hole Golf Course (known as one of the best country courses in South Australia and more than 35 cellar doors to visit, an array of bed & breakfast and luxury accommodation options, and fine dining restaurants aplenty, the Clare Valley is a fantastic place to stay and visit.

Pickups and car tours can be arranged from the Aerodrome to explore the region.

The building of the Aerodrome:

In 2010, the CVFG Inc completed parts of Stage One to establish an Aerodrome for the region. The Aerodrome features a North-South 1200m x 18m runway, built to RFDS standards for aircraft 5,700kg. Recently, a 600m long grass cross strip has been completed. The Terminal Building also provides panoramic views of all Runway activities as well as toilet and facilities for visiting pilots to use.

The Aerodrome provides:

Aerial fire fighting capabilities for a safer Clare Valley
