During a flight across the Grampians mountain ranges, the pilot reportedly made a slight diversion in order to fly clear of an approaching storm and keep below cloud level. As the flight proceeded, the aircraft flew into an area of elevated, heavily-wooded terrain and the pilot realised he would not be able to fly clear of the terrain in the path of the aircraft. He attempted to turn away but then realised the aircraft would sink. He then stalled the aircraft through the treetops and the aircraft descended to the ground. The aircraft was destroyed on impact and both the pilot and passenger were injured.
