Higgins Airfield was developed during late 1942 as a dispersal airfield for the Horn Island airfield, and was upgraded during 1943–1944. Higgins is now operated as Injinoo/Bamaga Airport, located about 8 kilometres southeast of Bamaga, on Airport Road.Sections of the gravelled taxiways, along with bitumen-sealed dispersal bays, survive around the runway. Most dispersal bays, some with earth mound protection, remain intact although many are now covered with regrowth. The Duty Pilot’s Tower and associated facilities were once located near the centre of the southern side of the runway. The area contains gravel quarry pits and evidence of a bitumen processing plant. A row of three or more light machine gun posts are located near the control tower site. The camp area for RAAF 33 Operational Base Unit (OBU) is located west of the runway. Concrete features are concentrated around the site of the OBU kitchen and mess. The Repair and Salvage Unit (RSU) workshops and camp site occupies an area about 1 km north-west of the runway. The site contains a large concrete floor slab of a hangar. Two aircraft wrecks near the airfield include a Beaufort, A9-190, on the northern side of the runway and a Douglas DC-3, VH-CXD, located 3 km north-west of the runway, now in a fenced enclosure with a memorial.
