Poorly loaded Piper Lance

Around 2000 a Piper Lance departed King Island in Bass Strait with 6 female 0pob. The a/c was observed to take a long take off run and assume a marked nose high attitude on rotation. The a/c continued nose high to about 200' stalled and impacted the overrun area of the runway. All on board were killed. The investigation is not posted on the ATSB BASI website for some reason. It was found that the a/c rear luggage compartment was overloaded and trim control was neutral.
