There are many many airports and airfields in Australia where one runway end cannot be seen by another including major airports such as YMML.
many busy and smaller fields also have runway ends hidden from each other (e.g. Wangaratta, YMUL, YBEV) with usually the most into wind runway used unless the airport ops or a/c requirements dictates otherwise.
some airfields you can’t see one runway end from the other (YLUW).
YCAB has a comprehensive and detailed ops manual. There are no clowns here.

For whatever reason this terrible accident happened to pilots held in high regard.
Here’s hoping that a chain of events can be elucidated with lessons learned.
I know it does not bring the deceased back but hopefully prevents other such accidents.
I am saddened by what has happened.
