Breddan Aerodrome, World War II air base in Queensland, Australia.
The aerodrome features two main runways, taxiways, and hardstands spread across grasslands north of Charters Towers on Gregory Developmental Road.
Built between 1942 and 1943, the facility served as a maintenance base for the USAAF 38th Bomb Group and later operated as an RAAF repair center.
The Queensland Heritage Register recognizes this aerodrome for its role in military infrastructure development during World War II in northern Australia.
Access to the former airfield requires navigation through Gregory Developmental Road, approximately 15 kilometers north from the town of Charters Towers.
The site contains twelve reinforced concrete igloos specifically constructed for torpedo storage and maintenance during wartime operations.
