A millionaire agribusiness leader and his son were killed along with the pilot in a light plane crash in Queensland on Monday.
The aeroplane crashed in a remote area near Lowood located about an hour west of Brisbane.
Paramedics reportedly struggled to get to the scene and were forced to travel to the accident site on foot.
The Courier Mail reported the Cessna aircraft ran into hazardous weather and dropped from 2000ft to 500ft before crashing near Fernvale at 10am on Monday.
The paper has confirmed that the victims included Tom Strachan, 49, and his 20-year-old son Noah. The experienced pilot Gary Liehm also died.
Mr Strachan was a farmer and leader in the agribusiness industry.
He founded mining, construction and agricultural labour hire firm AWX in 2000. In 2016 he and a group of investors sold the business for a reported $25 million, reported the AFR.
In 2014, he was estimated to have a wealth of $47m.
In 2015, year he bought the renowned Lighthouse cattle station in Roma for $14m which he said was a âlifetime goalâ.
âIt was about returning to a space, industry, that provides me purpose and belonging at an individual, spiritual and holistic level.â
Mr Strachan was working with Packhorse, an investment firm specialising in agriculture and particularly the beef supply chain.
Mr Strachan is listed as âexecutive director and chief storytellerâ of the firm.
âTom just took on the world; he was so successful and always made time for everyone,â a friend of Mr Strachan told the Courier Mail on Monday night.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Noah was an analyst at Benstead Holdaway, a Brisbane real estate and investment company. He studied at QUT and attended Brisbane Grammar School.
The pilot Mr Liehm was chief executive of Executive Helicopters and had flown for SeaWorld and the Queensland emergency authorities.
The plane left Mr Strachanâs Roma property in western Queensland on Monday morning at around 7.20am, before stopping in Dalby at approximately 9am.
The plane then took off again fifteen minutes later, losing contact with air traffic support a short time later near Ipswich around 10am.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has said it has commenced an investigation into the tragedy.
