Plane crash near Nowra: police | Newcastle Herald

206, engine failure, minor injuries according to our CASA's Pete.

Did well to find anywhere to get down in one piece there.

Peter Gibson, corporate communication manager for the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, said the pilot had broadcast a mayday call, reporting engine failure, around 12.30pm.

At the time, the pilot and his Cessna 206 was reportedly around the Wombeyan Caves area - around 60 kilometres from where the plane was found, on the outskirts of the national park near Touga.

Mr Gibson said the pilot had suffered only minor injuries.
