Media is reporting an accident at Childers airfield in Queensland and pilot taken to hospital.  No further info known at this time.  Anyone have more details?

The crash occurred at 8:12AM and the pilot was rushed to hospital with suspected back injuries. It appears that local Police were not involved, so hopefully the pilots injuries are not too serious.

Can't find a news report that isn't behind a paywall.  What was conveyed to me third hand - one of our Club members had an undercarriage collapse on landing in his ultralight - other members were there to assist - he was taken to hospital.  I can't add much more than that.

Thanks for info, glad that it sounds like pilot is on the mend.  Cheers.
