On Sunday (30th May ) a mustering chopper crashed on Rutland Plains Station (beside the indigenous community of Kowanyama, Gulf of Carpentaria).
Apparently the tail rotor clipped a tree and the chopper crashed bubble first into the ground. The 30 year old pilot has survived and is in Cairns Base Hospital with facial injuries (broken nose and cheekbone) and broken ribs.
