A man has miraculously survived 20 hours at sea in the Torres Strait, in what Australian police have called a Christmas miracle.
The 31-year-old was found clinging to a remnant of debris from his dinghy after it capsized when a mammoth wave hit between Getullia Island and Sue Island in the Torres Strait.
Queensland police senior sergeant Anthony Moynihan told ABC news that the man was not carrying safety equipment when he set off on his journey alone and so it was astonishing he survived.
