Background
After Stow Maries Aerodrome shut its doors in June 2014, the 'Boing' region fell into the hands of the 'Sunrise Suites' group, who constructed a small airfield, heliport and harbour. Surrounded by lush tropical foliage, the airfield's single runway was built on a platform suspended over the ocean, docks and a bar/lounge. It sported a single corrugated iron hangar and five helipads. After a short life, the airstrip closed sometime prior to October 2014.
