Piper forced landing Central coast?

Just caught the end of this story on CH10 News. Seems the trend of all things aviation is continuing in the media.

Seems a S/E Piper made a forced landing in a mud filled field somewhere on the central coast NSW(?) From the footage I caught it looked bogged half way up the wheel spats. Report was the forced landing was made due to bad weather and "very poor visibility". Looking out the window, the weather around the Hunter is very bleak and I wouldn't of liked to be up there VFR. Anyway looked like a fair effort to keep it off its roof after touch down. Also showed 2 pilots walking away.

Anyone else see/hear this? Sorry for the sketchy details
