At first glance it looked like tents, then I realized it was a Aircraft grave-yard.

Barbers Point ??

I am really impressed with the fantastic photo posted from our WIX'er from down-under. However, I seriously question that it is Barbers Point.
The reason that I say this is that the entrance to Pearl Harbor (as well as aircraft cariers, NAS Ford Island, Hickam Field et.al) can be seen just beyond the rows of quonset huts. In reality, NAS Barbers Point is located about 7 miles due W of Pearl Harbor as well as MCAS Ewa was located in betwen the two. I do not see MCAS Ewa at all. I think what we are seing is either a eastern extreme of MCAS Ewa or possibly an aircraft storage area on NS Pearl Harbor.
What's your take??
