A group of 11 Indonesian fishermen from two boats that were caught in the path of Cyclone Isa have been rescued from a remote island off northwestern Australia after six days without food or water, but nine other men are thought to have drowned at sea.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), which rescued the fishermen on Monday night, said the group was recovering after being picked up from Bedwell Island, some 300km (200 miles) west of the Australian coastal tourist town of Broome.
