Certainly not a Cessna, maybe a Glasair II or similar. News reports 2POB, one fatality and one taken to hospital. Also news reports stating both occupants are female.

Glasair. heard it was a female pilot, i hope it isnt who i think it is, anyone have the rego yet?

i hate wedderburn, due the requirement to fly over severe tiger country so not to disturb someones pet cat.

I have heard the owner / pilot is in hospital and the fatality is a highly experienced aviatrix.
