Following an extensive search operation, authorities located the body of Junaid Mohd Abdul near Port Macquarie after he went missing from Moonee Beach on Monday night.

Police, Polair, Marine Rescue volunteers and the Westpac rescue chopper have all been searching for the 28-year-old since he went missing from the unpatrolled beach just after 6pm.
