| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot had been unable to obtain details of the Goonyella airstrip before his departure from Moranbah. On arrival he conducted an inspection of the strip from 500 feet and noticed that there was no windsock and that a power line had been installed across the northern end. He also noted that the strip changed colour along its length and that vehicles had been driving along it. After this inspection he conducted a landing from the south. On touchdown he saw a 1.5m high bank where the traffic path entered the strip. As it was too late to initiate a go-around the pilot made an unsuccessful attempt to avoid the bank in which nosegear leg was broken off on colliding with it. It was determined that the landing area had been decommissioned about a year earlier.
