Silhouette challenge
VTI Novi Avion
Saw it listed in "What Cockpit" and thought everyone may have forgotten all about it by now. Foolish thought! 
"all terrain" undercarriage
From the front it looks a little like a stripped down HP.42 but I can't find any Handley Page project to match.
On the other hand, it's ugly, therefore it must be French. (No offence intended Richard).

Not Smithy. Although this guy had had his designs built by several companies ( but none in Australia) , including one model that carried his own name, he later built a business in a different field of civil aviation.
Thats most of the clues used up ..............

(Gotta go. Have to turn on the Christmas lights and sit on the porch, ride shotgun, and make sure no bastard nicks my decorations. We're still thieving colonials here.)

Not Geoffrey Wickner.
The one that carried his name was a joint project with a fellow Australian, who was also part responsible for the challenge subject, but was built by Airspeed.
I ll be offline for a bit too, giving time to assess the evidence. Cheers Doug
