Was this the same aircraft I heard on 124.1/120.75 MHz around 0330Z (Cooma area)?

If so well done to the pilot of the assisting aircraft, he seemed to be giving good advice to someone seemingly lost inadvertent IMC. The incident pilot seemed to be responding and understanding the advice, (e.g. wings level, full power, a few degrees up nose etc). It had me wondering how much basic IF is taught prior to solo VFR nav these days (no disrespect intended to any party involved).

I can't help feeling we could have offered to render assistance... we had the fuel and hopefully some useful advice to offer...many regretful thoughts this evening.

Sincerest condolences to all involved.
