r22's collide over the kimberlies

two mustering helicopters have collided over a cattle station in the kimberly region of north western australia.

both pilots, the only occupants were both killed. it is not known the time of day or any circumstance that may have contributed to the mid air collision.

one pilot, a 37 year old australian, male has left a wife and two young children.

the second pilot was a 39 year old new zealander.

both pilots had quite a few years of mustering behind them and many hours of experience.
