I don't know what it is, but some weird aircraft do opperate out of there. Grass runways are the norm for airstrips in Australia. Most have no tarmac at all! Here is Caboolture ( very close to Brisbane's international airport!) http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-27.075940,152.984705&spn=0.017425,0.030088&t=k&hl=en Gliders cannot operate from Archerfield..

The diagonal runways are simply grass runways. Archerfield is an important training airfield, I imagine learning to land on grass is very important to the farmers etc. who fly around Queensland. The distances are vast and they don't tend to have many paved airstrips! Not a glider, I think - Gliders have wingspans at least twice their length and the wing is set a long way forward on the fuselage... quite a distinctive shape. Gliders are also quite small - I reckon they'd be hard to see - though there may be one on the bitumen among the smaller sheds at the north of the main buildings.
