The only report is behind a newspaper paywall. Covered on both 7 and 9 news.

It was upside down; this is quite common; come in for a landing with the nose too high, and the upwind wing too high and the aircraft will try to run off the runeway, lift off a rear wheel and run along headed off the runway on the nosewheel and downwind rear. A bit more wind and it will tip over and finish up on its back. This could have been the full tip.

It went through the fence. Probably what flipped it.

Just a guess , would love to know the whole story.
