Human remains found in search for missing north Qld fisherman and croc
Queensland wildlife officers have found human remains amid the search for a crocodile believed to have taken a fisherman and “all round legendary bloke” missing off the state’s north coast since Thursday.
Andrew Heard, 69, failed to return from a fishing trip to Gayundah Creek, on the south-western side of Hinchinbrook Island between Cairns and Townsville, and was unable to be contacted by his wife via radio.
