New South Wales town of Wilcannia, some 840 kilometres northwest of Sydney, on
Saturday 8 in the afternoon, along with seven other paraglider pilots. They all
landed on a highway about 160 kilometres further south, except for Naville,
prompting emergency services to launch a search.
His body was found in a bush land near the landing site on Sunday afternoon.
