Distance & flight time from COJ

Coonabarabran Airport

Not to be confused with Coonamble's own small airfield elsewhere in the same corner of New South Wales, COJ serves a town that markets itself as Australia's astronomy capital thanks to its proximity to Siding Spring Observatory, home to the country's largest optical telescopes, perched in the nearby Warrumbungle Range. The surrounding national park earned recognition as Australia's first accredited Dark Sky Park, and clear, unpolluted night skies now draw stargazers alongside the bushwalkers and climbers who come for the range's distinctive volcanic peaks and spires. Agriculture still anchors the local economy, with sheep and wheat properties spreading across the plains beyond the mountains, and the airport itself remains a modest general aviation strip supporting charter flights, agricultural aircraft, and occasional emergency medical retrievals for the district.
