They do say you should take taxi it when you are planning to drink, but this may have been too literal an interpretation:
Plane 'taxied down main street to Newman pub' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
The report says it was a two seater Beechcraft. Model 77 Skipper, I believe. Not a model with which I am familiar. Have to say it looks a lot like a PA38 Tomahawk, one that's had a hatchet job done on it.
