Andrew Connors, 55, who was the pilot, and his wife Julieanne, 54, along with fellow passenger Colin McLachlan, 73, perished in the crash.

Investigations are continuing into how the accident occurred.

Pop star Guy Sebastian was one of the many mourners who took to social media to pay tribute to the victims - he had struck up a friendship with the pilot over a building project many years ago.

You can also read plenty of great community stories, including Katelin McInerney being sworn in at NSW Parliament as the new Kiama state MP, the 100-year anniversary of a land speed record in Gerroa and a mansion in Foxground which is on the market for a cool $9 million.

In sport, you can read about Kiama's record-breaking win to start the South Coast cricket season, the Illawarra Hawks getting their NBL season back on track and locals participating in the World Triathlon Championships.

Plus there are a bunch of great sporting photos from our intrepid photographer Brian Scott getting out and about on the weekend - you may see someone you know!
