Body of missing Queensland hunter found in NT

The body of a missing hunter has been found about 110 kilometres from Nhulunbuy, in an area of the Northern Territory known as the Gurrumurru Floodplain.

The 50-year-old man, from central Queensland, had been hunting with a friend in an area filled with crocodiles and wild buffalo when he went missing on Thursday.

His body was discovered on Sunday following days of air and land searches.

"It's pretty wild terrain," a NT Police spokesman told AAP.

"It was thought that both were well equipped for bushwalking, but we became concerned when there was an emergency beacon and he did not activate it."

No details on the circumstances of his death have been released and police are yet to recover his body.
