VH-RXS photographed by the roadside near Fitzroy Crossing. It was a cattle mustering aircraft with a horn attached to undercarriage to keep the animals moving. Helicopters, and in particular Robinsons, have largely replaced fixed wing aircraft in the role. VH-RXS crashed near Fitzroy Crossing in 1973. It was repaired only to be written off in a storm in 1985.
