A light aircraft has crashed into a ferris wheel at a funfair in a town some 150m north-east of Sydney in Australia.

It is thought the pilot misjudged his take-off, causing the crash into the wheel at the Old Bar Festival in Taree, but neither he, his passenger or the two children who were on the ride were seriously injured.
