Summary
The aircraft took off from Carbla Station at 0600 for the purpose of mustering sheep about 5 miles
west of the strip. At about 0800, with the left fuel tank selected and while turning right at a height of
approximately 50 feet above the ground, the engine lost all power. The pilot levelled the aircraft and
being unable to restore engine power, lowered full flap and carried out a forced landing straight ahead
on lightly timbered level ground. Soon after touch down both main wheels struck tree roots and the
aircraft overturned.
