The runway ran south west to north east and was 5000 ft long x 150 ft wide. The aerodrome had eight hideouts for medium bombers constructed. The United States Navy's Fleet Air Wing leased the aerodrome as a satellite field for Fleurs Aerodrome near Kemps Creek, New South Wales.

The aerodrome was abandoned after World War II.
