Didn't 'Xantrix' in the previous, (now locked) thread quote the forecast as overcast at 600' in rain?
VFR?
I'll always remain amazed as to why some people attempt to fly VFR G.A. in crappy WX conditions in Australia. For the next day after the bad event is often benign.
(Please note that I'm not commenting specifically on the PXD accident.)
