While approaching Talbingo, the pilot noticed that the fuel gauges, both of which had indicated three quarters full at Canberra, were indicating that only a small quantity of fuel remained. Suspecting that either a severe leak had developed or he had made a serious error in fuel planning, the pilot decied to carry out an emergency landing in the Carabost area. To accurately report his position, the pilot attempted to tune the radio navigation aids to the Albury VOR, DME and ADF, without success. He then commenced descent and unsuccessfully attempted to transmit a MAYDAY call to Wagga Flight Service, Albury Tower and to broadcast on 121.5 MHz. On final approach to the selected landing point, the pilot applied power but the engine failed to respond. The aircraft touched down short of the intended landing point, bounced over a fence and landed heavily in a paddock, resulting in a collapse of the landing gear. The occupants evacuated the aircraft without assistance.
