The Shannon's Creek Emergency Airstrip - Y0TP, located on the Silver City Highway in New South Wales is 110nm from Broken Hill (YBHI) and 353nm from Dubbo (YSDU), the nearest RFDS (South Eastern Section) opertational bases.
Emergency airstrips utlised by the RFDS provide an emegency landing area when access to medical facilities by road may not be viable due to flooding of roads or distance/time constraints; or construction of a permanent landing area isn't feasible due to the limited usage.

Known Issues:
- AI vehicles still use the road. To remove go to: Menu > General Options > Traffic. Then under "Land and Sea Traffic", set "Road Vehicles" to 0. Once there is a fix for the scenery, I will implement it.
- Vegetation needs extensive updating. I've fixed some of it, but there is a lot more work to do for it to be representative of the area.
- Emergency vehicles are from the UK. Will hopefully get some Australian (and jurisdiction/state/territory specific) emergency vehicles soon.
Changelog:
0.1: Initial release.
