Missing fishing group found on Qld track

Seven people, including young three young boys, who failed to return from a fishing trip in far northwest Queensland four days ago have been found wandering along a local track.

The group set out on Friday afternoon from the small community of Doomadgee for one of two islands about 26km away and were due to return on Sunday.

However, they failed to return, sparking a massive air and ground search on Monday.

Police have been notified that the group, which includes four men and three boys aged six, eight and nine, was found shortly after 7am (AEST) on Tuesday.

They were walking south along a track near a creek, a police spokesman told AAP.
