Quuensland search and rescue crews are looking for seven Papua New Guinean fishermen who’ve been missing for almost five days in the Torres Strait.
Ten men had set out from the PNG island of Daru Island on Sunday to go fishing on a reef 20 nautical miles north of Queensland’s Yorke Island.
Their boat overturned sometime on Sunday or Monday and washed up on the PNG mainland on Wednesday.
Three of the men were rescued by a passing fishing boat near Daru Island, but seven are still missing.
Queensland water police are searching around Warrior Reef, Yorke, Stephen and Darnley islands and uninhabited sand cays.
