Week-long inquest into adventurer's plane crash death set to start

Mathew Farrell, 42, departed Mt Beauty Airport about midday on September 18, 2022.

The filmmaker and adventurer crashed in dense bushland near Lucyvale, with his aircraft found on September 19.

Officers from the police air wing located the recreational aircraft.

Coroner Paul Lawrie will examine the circumstances surrounding the incident from Monday, January 29.

The inquest is listed to run for five days in Melbourne.

Evidence will be heard and findings handed down at a later date.

Following his death, Mr Farrell was remembered as an adventurer who had explored some of the most treacherous places on earth.

He had only recently purchased his light Jabiru aircraft before his passing.

He had been flying to Wollongong to visit his father-in-law when tragedy struck.
