Another website is reporting it was in a “corridor” around Williamtown controlled airspace. I don’t know if this is true, but if so, it might be relevant to other threads on that subject.

While a severe turbulence sigmet was active. The worm is not the place you want to be in turbulence.

According to Channel 7 news just now it was a glider. Didn't say if it was powered or unpowered. Apparently reported problems 20 minutes after takeoff.

A trike / microlight from Maitland apparently. An eyewitness said that the wings folded.
