They left YWMC at 4PM. I know someone who flies a Jabiru & he reckons it's 148 miles from YWMC to YLEC & should have taken 1&1/2 hours - which means he should have arrived here at around 5:30PM unless he went sightseeing on the way. Conditions on the ground were virtually calm - however I know that might not be the case in flight.
