Unhappy Crash at Parkes, NSW, Aust???

I saw a small article in the paper today that a helicopter had crashed on Saturday at Parkes, NSW while spraying locusts?

Anyone know any more on this?

I don't think they were spraying locusts but they were certainly looking for them when they hit a wire. All, (4 I think), on board are ok.
The Helicopter came from the Armidale area of NSW.

Deeper - Was it one of Fleet Helicopters machines, they are based in Armidale.

Yes it was Fleet and yes there were two helicopters involved in accidents this past weekend, one a Bell 206 and the other a Bell47.

All ok.
