A truck belonging to the pilot's company became bogged on the Normanton - Dunbar road. It was on its way to Rutland with materials needed at the property before the rain closed the road until the end of the Wet Season. A Carpenteria Shire grader was available to move the truck and two others also bogged. Unfortunately the grader had two flat tyres and no spares were available on site. Because of threatening rain the pilot offered to fly the grader driver to his camp to pick up some serviceable tubes. After locating the camp the pilot selected a stretch of road which after an aerial inspection appeared suitable for landing. Towards the end of the landing roll the aircraft veered left slightly under braking forces and the left wing tip struck a dead sapling not seen by the pilot during the aerial inspection.
