A fisherman is missing in far north Queensland after a suspected crocodile attack, sparking a major search and rescue operation.
The 65-year-old Laura man was fishing along the Kennedy River at Rinyirru National Park in Lakefield on Saturday afternoon when he disappeared after a commotion reported by nearby campers.
Bystanders described the fisherman in distress after a splash in the waters near the Kennedy Bend campsite, the Queensland Ambulance Service said.
An aerial search was launched with a paramedic and doctor on board before being suspended overnight.
Search efforts resumed at first light on Sunday, with wildlife officers assisting.
