Location Details

Scenic Rim Aerodrome (YSRA)

Australia / Kooralbyn, Queensland
Location ID: #10309120

A Cinematic Airfield Location in South East Queensland

Tucked within the rolling landscapes of the Scenic Rim, Scenic Rim Aerodrome offers filmmakers a rare combination of open space, natural beauty, and controlled aviation infrastructure, making it an ideal, film-friendly location for a wide range of productions.

Scenic Rim Aerodrome is a privately operated airfield set amongst expansive countryside, framed by tree-lined ridge lines, open paddocks, and reflective water features. The aerodrome’s single 1,200 metre sealed runway stretches through the landscape, creating a striking visual centrepiece that naturally lends itself to cinematic storytelling.

With minimal surrounding development, the site provides clean sight lines, low visual noise, and the flexibility to create both remote and regional settings without the need for heavy set dressing.

This location offers a unique blend of accessibility and isolation, close enough to major production hubs, yet visually removed from urban environments.

• Long sealed 1200 m long x 10m wide runway ideal for aviation scenes, vehicle sequences, or stylised cinematic shots
• Expansive open terrain for equipment, crew setup, and large-scale productions
• Natural backdrops including hills, bushland, and water bodies for depth and visual interest
• Minimal air traffic allowing for controlled filming conditions
• Flexible access for ground vehicles, tracking rigs, and aerial filming
• Easy access for trucks, trailers, and support vehicles
• On-site space for basecamp setup and unit parking
• Flexible scheduling opportunities
• Supportive, film-friendly environment

Despite its secluded feel, Scenic Rim Aerodrome is conveniently located within reach of South East Queensland’s major film studios:
Distance from Screen Queensland Studios, Brisbane: Approx. 85 km | 1 hour 15 minutes drive
Distance from Village Roadshow Studios, Gold Coast: Approx. 95 km | 1 hour 30 minutes drive
Distance from Brisbane CBD: Approx. 90 km | 1 hour 20 minutes drive
