Marree Airport
Marree Airport (RRE) is a remote airstrip serving the small outback town of Marree in South Australia, located at the junction of the historic Birdsville and Oodnadatta tracks. The airport primarily accommodates light aircraft, charter flights, and scenic flight operations, given Marree's popularity as a starting point for tours over Lake Eyre's striking salt flats. RRE plays an important role for the sparse local population, supporting supply runs and occasional medical evacuations typical of remote Australian communities. The airstrip's unpaved surface and minimal facilities reflect the town's isolated desert setting. For adventurous travelers heading into South Australia's outback, RRE often marks the gateway to some of the country's most remote landscapes.
