CESSNA WITH 3 POB INVERTS ON LANDING AT APOLLO BAY IN VIC

A pilot and two passengers escaped with only bruising after the Cessna light aircraft they were in flipped over shortly after landing at the Apollo Bay airstrip in Victoria - "we just hit the grass and we sunk in about roughly eight inches"

Apparently a gust of wind caused the landing Cessna to veer off the sealed runway surface onto soft ground causing the nose-wheel to dig-in and invert the high-winger
