[talk-au] Duplicate of the same airport

[Michael James]

It is a military base that allows civilian air traffic to use its runway.

As far as air traffic goes it's called Williamtown, only the civilian terminal area is called Newcastle airport. (28 hectares of land)

Hope that helps, though no map of that land parcel that they lease for the civilian side.
