Police scour sea off far north Queensland for three missing fishermen
Three men have failed to return from a fishing trip in far north Queensland, sparking an air and sea search off the coast near Cairns.
The men, aged 18, 27 and 37, set out on a 4.8-metre white centre console aluminium vessel with a blue bimini canopy on Tuesday morning. They were due back in Yarrabah, near Cairns, that afternoon.
