Caboolture Incident?

[River]

Heard on the 6.00 am news services (ABC Radio 612 Brisbane) that an incident had just occurred up at the Caboolture airfield just north of Brisbane this morning, Friday 5th 2006. Report indicated a 'light aircraft' had a heavy landing and that the pilot was conscious and rescue authorities were rushing to the airfield... No further media info has been available. Anyone know if and what occurred? GA or Recreational?
