Queensland.

By the way, the US 60th Operations Group's 21st Airlift Squadron,
was based there:

"The 21st Airlift Squadron was activated at Archer Field,
Brisbane, Australia, April 3, 1942, as the 21st Transportation
Squadron. Throughout World War II the squadron remained in the
New Guinea-Australia theatre airlifting various types of cargo.
In July 1942, the unit was redesignated the 21st Troop Carrier
Squadron and began flying the C-46 Commando and the C-47
Skytrain".
