Moree is 627km north west of Sydney, 365km west of Grafton at the junction of the Newell and Gwydir Highways.Moree township, is a prosperous centre of the region, encompassing commercial and retail functions, transport and freight terminals and outstanding early Australian architecture. The Airport is located just 3km from the town centre.

Sorta central NE NSW. Big place. Two runways, terminal building (QantasLink do RPT flights) and eight hangars (two on the far side of the field). Home to Aircair Aviation, Austrek Aviation, Gwydir Air, McAlister Airways and Moree Aero Club. Ten croppies, over a dozen lighies (including Seabird Seeker VH-OPT) , a QF Dash 8 and a helo seen.

The Amaroo Tavern is quite close by and has a DC-3 out front. I heard that its last flight was into Moree and that it was subsequently towed across the paddocks to the pub. Its in great nick. Marked P2-003, Papua New Guinea Defence Force. Follow the sign for The Big Plane!
