The pilot conducted a scenic flight of approximately one hour duration from Stawell around the Grampians with three passengers on board. At the end of the flight, the pilot approached Stawell from the west and joined the circuit via an upwind leg to the south, then a right circuit for a landing on runway 18. In the area of late downwind/early base the engine stopped. The pilot continued turning right towards the aerodrome but it became obvious that the aircraft was not going to reach the aerodrome without engine power. He performed some checks but was unable to restore engine power. There was no area suitable for a forced landing between the aircraft and the aerodrome because the area had moderate tree cover. The pilot positioned the aircraft towards a clump of small trees and warned his passengers of the impending impact. The aircraft stalled into the trees and ignited on impact with the ground. All occupants escaped, but three received serious burns.
