The Clare Valley Aerodrome is located on RM Williams Way 14kms North of the township of Clare and 10 minutes from the picturesque Clare Valley w**e region. The region boasts a scenic array of pristine farmland, quaint vineyards, and heritage buildings, which from the sky, looks like a patchwork of villages and trees. The Aerodrome was constructed in 2010 to bring aerial activities to the Clare Valley region and to connect the mid north with surrounding states and cities. It's the perfect stop-off location between the South and the North (from Adelaide to the Flinders Ranges and beyond), and the West and the East, (between Western Australia and Victoria). With more than 35 cellar doors to visit, an array of bed & breakfast and luxury accommodation options and fine dining restaurants aplenty, the Clare Valley is a fantastic place to stay and visit. Pickups and car tours can be arranged from the Aerodrome to explore the region. The building of the Aerodrome:
In 2010, the CVFG completed parts of Stage One of the Action Plan to establish an Aerodrome for the region. The Aerodrome features a North-South 1200m x 18m runway, built to RFDS standards for aircraft 5,700kg. Recently, a 600m long grass cross strip has been completed. The Aerodrome provides:
- aerial fire fighting capabilities for a safer Clare Valley
- supports agricultural aerial spraying
- infrastructure for agricultural, commercial and recreational aviation
- an aerial gateway for tourism and business
for a future airpark concept
- flight training abilities
