Two dead after helicopter crash, NSW S Highlands

From the ABC this morning:

"Two dead after helicopter crash

Two people have died after a helicopter crashed in the NSW Southern Highlands yesterday evening.

NSW Police said about 6:45pm on Wednesday, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre received information about a missing aircraft last seen east of Marulan.

A rescue operation involving police, NSW Ambulance, Fire and Rescue NSW and the Rural Fire Service (RFS) was mounted in rugged bushland near Tallong.

The crash site was located just after midnight and two people, not yet formally identified, were located near the wreckage.

A coroner's report is being prepared."

A freind & I were on Mt Marulan yesterday. We heard a helicopeter very close to us and stopped to look up for it. It was clearly in cloud/mist. I recall thinking I hope he is not VFR. The sound stopped very quickly. This morning we see this sad news.
