Death of Shirley Strachan and Cancellation

In late August 2001, Shirley Strachan died in a helicopter accident.[3] On a solo flight near Mount Archer, Queensland in clear weather and inexplicably off the course planned by his instructor, Strachan encountered mountain turbulence which caused the rotor of his Bell 47G to sever the tailboom, crashing the helicopter onto a mountain slope.

He was farewelled by family, friends and fans today in a ceremony at Noosa on Queensland's Sunshine Coast on the 6th of September. The gathering paid tribute to the life of Graeme "Shirley" Strachan who died in a helicopter accident last Wednesday.

Without Shirley Strachan, the final episode of Our House on 2nd September 2001 to pay tribute to Shirley.

Nine Network not materialized the 2002 season, but the show Our House did not mentioned due to the death of Shirley Strachan.
