Did He /she take the engine with them? The wing is a bit second hand Nev

FB thread says landing incident. i 'd say the airframe is sitting on the engine. longish grass slowed it up a bit quick.

 

Good the pilot walked away.

Looks like the pilot exited the aircraft via the windscreen.

By the ridiculous, oft repeated saying "Any landing you walk away from is a good one" this one is certainly expensive and surely that's not good. Nev

One lucky chap...a credit to him and the airframe...thats some serious damage!

No wonder insurance is expensive.

"The ATSB is investigating a collision with terrain involving a Cirrus SR22, VH-OPX, near Moree, New South Wales, on 17 September 2015. During landing the aircraft encountered a gusting crosswind, resulting in a collision with terrain. The pilot suffered minor injuries and the aircraft sustained substantial damage."

 

One of the most important skills to master in crosswind landings is when to go around and rethink the need to land at that particular airport.

Must have been one hell of a crosswind, i couldn't see an runway or airport in sight in that photo

The article says it came down in a crop field. Did he bury the tail?

Talking to guys in Moree, he was landing at a property.

 

Ag strip maybe?

Cross wind technique needs some work, many pilots lack this skill
