Mareeba Airport
Mareeba Airport serves Mareeba, a town on the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, Australia, known for coffee, tea, and tropical agriculture. MRG is primarily a general aviation airport, supporting flight training, agricultural aviation, and skydiving operations, with the town's clear tropical skies making it popular for parachuting and gliding clubs.
