Thanks but the plane in the picture was onto it's 2nd owner in a regional area of Australia by1977, plus the tail feathers are very different, however that got me looking at Joe Bridi designs. The ugly bubble canopy and rearward swept trailing edge on the wing looks like it could be a side mounted engine, Bridi UFO but the back end is oddball for pattern designs of the day.

It might be a home brew design, flogging off a bit from from one plane here and from another plane there? Dad had a Kaos around the same time so Bridi designs were known to fliers in that area at that time.
