There is an unmarked airport 25km NW of Alice Springs, about 16km west of Bonds Airport, on the Tanami Rd (5), 23 31 22.20S, 133 40 45E. Any idea what it is? Thanks.

It is not an airport. It is an antenna array associated with the Jindalee RADAR (JORN) facility.

I can see why the confusion, though. If you zoom in on the long narrow strip of land that looks like a runway, those X things do kind of look like airplanes. http://goo.gl/maps/qtHCe Zoom in a bit further, and it becomes obvious they're not, however.
