From the ATSB website:
Where does it imply they won't attend?
The ATSB is deploying four investigators to the site, with specialisations in engineering and aircraft operations. During the on-site phase of the investigation, investigators will examine the wreckage and accident site, interview witnesses and collect maintenance and pilot records. Some aircraft components may be retained for subsequent technical examination.
That makes 2 recent ones at the lighter end of town, where they have launched full investigations. (The Barossa Tecnam is the other) Maybe some of the recent criticism has stung a little?
Makes sense DF, although I understand they have taken over the recent Chipmunk investigation despite no fatality having occurred and (so far) seem to be leaving the Batemans Bay Morgan in RA-Aus and the coroner's hands.
Just caught up with this one.
In my experience, some 210N models have the fuel tanks selected on BOTH when the selector points to the prop. However, other 210N have the fuel tanks selected to OFF when the selector points to the prop. A very nasty little trap for young players, or pilots in a rush, and one I have very nearly been caught by.
I note the time of accident was mid-day-ish, and I understand in a C210 it's only about a 90 minute flight from Inverell to Brisbane (which I think I read is where it was headed).
Somewhere, I think I read that the owner had only had the aircraft since Sept 2012 but I don't know how much experience the pilot had on type.
Could it be - and this is pure speculation - in the background was....Please, Dr, just before you leave can you please just check on .......Honey, we need to get going. Don't forget I've arranged to meet X & Y at 5, and you wanted to see Bill Bloggs at 4......D-a-a-a-d, you PROMISED I could....
A terrible tragedy, whichever way we look at it.

Sadly the cause was even simpler than the one you describe. No problem at all with fuel or engine or anything not working.
I am not at liberty to discuss it (or I dnot know if I am ) so lets just say it was a stuff up.
Gimme a call……and keep off the red
It is bad for ya that stuff!

Jaba; Should this Barossa born and raised boy and you ever meet, I shall edjumacate you to the enjoyment of a good Aussie Red!
Und you vill enjoy!! Ja!!
Like my dear Late Mother, who died only a year ago once said, when I had made a remark about the Barossa;
`You can take the boy out of the Barossa, but you cannot take the Barossa out of the boy!`
Arnold E; You are more direct than I, but quite correct!

Come on Jaba.. So what really happened with the C210?
Pinky. FYI, I'm enjoying a rather pleasantly affordable Barossa Shiraz as I type.
We must have dinner again, one of these days. And at the Truro pub. Like we often did all those years ago!

Cannot see any difficulty in talking your Brother and a few others of that era into it either.
