On 7 July 2018 at 0915 Eastern Standard Time, a Victa Airtourer with two crew was on a private flight from Kilcoy, Queensland (Qld) to a private grass airstrip near Somerset Dam, Qld. Weather conditions were reported as cloud at 2,500 ft with a slight crosswind.
During landing, the pilot landed long on the airstrip which was made up of wet grass. The pilot considered conducting a go-around or conducting a controlled ground-loop. The pilot briefly opened the throttle to attempt the go-around, but quickly closed it as the aircraft was reaching the end of the strip.
The aircraft overran the strip and collided with a barbed wire fence. After shutting down the aircraft, both occupants evacuated uninjured.
