Unhappy Crash at El Questro

This from news.com.au


Two feared dead in plane crash
August 30, 2004

TWO people are believed to have died when a light aircraft crashed at the end of the runway at the El Questro Wilderness Park in Western Australia's Kimberley region, WA Police said today.

A man and a woman were aboard the twin-engined plane when it crashed about 12.10pm (WST) today.

It is not as yet known whether the aircraft was taking off or landing when the accident occurred.

A WA Police spokesman told AAP that officers from Wyndham were on their way to the scene, and although police think they know who was on board, the identities of the people had not been confirmed.

"It is a twin-engined plane that has come down at the end of the airstrip, and it appears both people on board have died," the spokesman said.

El Questro is in the East Kimberley, 100km west of Kununurra by road. An exclusive homestead and wilderness park, the million-acre attraction was developed in 1991.
