At the conclusion of a local flight the pilot carried out a practice touch-and-go landing, and then positioned the aircraft for a full stop landing. Wind conditions at the time were light. Shortly after touchdown the aircraft commenced to veer to the right. The pilot was unable to stop the swing and elected to go around. However, the aircraft was no longer aligned with the strip and during the attempted go-around, the aircraft struck an embankment and a small tree. The pilot closed the throttle and the aircraft came to rest about 100 metres to the right of the strip.
