TBF Rockets in Oz the rockets work upside down. They're just trying to compete with China in the deepest hole drilled, just in the most expensive and inefficient and most Evil way.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The top fell off because they're terrible engineers and this delayed the launch because they're cowards. The engines should still be on there unless that was too spicy for their Australian nerves.
Starts singing Waltzing Matilda in the most sarcastic tone I can
The top fell off the rocket sounds like an Australian sex act.
Crikey! The top of our rocket fell off, I guess Rozzy Stinko-Flipper didn't put it on right after getting pissed at the barby last night.

Sand? In Australia? One a million chance!
Damn, we need to wait a bit longer for Moon Koalas.
Trevor would have loved moon koalas :(
Did it fall into a different environment? It sounds as if they need to design a new sort of rocket. Surely one where the top doesn't fall off.
Well cardboard's out. No carboard derivatives, no cellotape.
Must of fell off because Australia is upside down or down under or whatever.
Hahahhahah
Deeply unserious people.
Hats off to the launch. 
Ahahaha good reference
