The man and the six-year-old were taken to Mount Isa Hospital with suspected head, spinal and leg injuries.

The nine-year-old boy was found by a police diving team around 6am.

A search of the area, including a helicopter, ground and swift water rescue crews, was conducted until dusk yesterday and resumed at dawn this morning.
