Search for Tas flood victim continues

Police are continuing to search for the body of flood victim Trevor Foster who was swept away from his central Tasmanian farm more than a fortnight ago.

Despite widespread searches of the Ouse River, the 81-year-old has not been seen since he was knocked from his feet by rising waters on June 6.

Efforts to find him continued on Thursday, a day after search crews found the body of Peter Watson, 63, in the South Esk River after his van was inundated by water on June 7 and grandmother Mary Kathleen Alford, 75, was also killed in the floods.
