Unfortunately the story is hidden behind a pay wall. FB reports that pilot was hurt with a fractured knee and was taken to Hervey Bay hospital. The dog ran off after the crash but was found on the golf course. Looks like an Ibis aircraft.

Was an Ibis Magic GS-700 Rotax 912S.  According to locals at Boonooroo; A light plane has come down in the paddock opposite the golf club.  The pilot had a fractured knee.  The dog was found later unharmed on the golf course.  "It flew about 10 mtrs over our house before crashing…glad to hear pilot and his dog are ok."  Several other photos on social media.

I bet that's one border collie that will never be persuaded to get into an aeroplane, ever again!! That pilot is lucky to get out with just a knee fracture, that aircraft is a mess.
