Runway excursion involving a Cessna Aircraft Company 172P, VH-BFQ, Mount Windsor Station, QLD on 23 July 1994

The pilot reported that during the take-off run he became apprehensive about the runway distance remaining. The take-off was abandoned but the aircraft collided with a fence. The pilot said that the runway surface was covered with small pebbles which appeared to reduce the braking efficiency. He steered the aircraft to the right to avoid a fence. The aircraft was almost stationary when it struck the fence.
