Tarampa is a rural suburb of Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. At the 2011 Australian Census Tarampa recorded a population of 325.[1]
During World War II a military airfield was located at nearby Mount Tarampa called Lowood. The United States Army Air Forces based its 80th Fighter Squadron (8th Fighter Group) there between 28 March – 10 May 1942), flying P-39 Airacobras. The airfield no longer exists but a small memorial marks its previous location.[2][3]
The Lowood circuit built at the former airfield site was the venue for the 1960 Australian Grand Prix.[4] The facility has since been closed and the land redeveloped. The end of the 35 runway and taxiway can still be seen in aerial imagery at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
