Looks like it 'was' a Robinson.....

One 72 Yr old man possible broken leg and head injuries, another 43 yr old and two passengers taken to Dubbo hospital but injuries unknown at this stage.
No fatalities reported.
Cheers...

Reporter describes the R22 as “a tiny buzz-fly of a machine”. For once the media seem to have accurately reported an aviation event.

Only pilot & one passenger. It's a R22 - not a R44.
