The bodies of two Chinese backpackers who went missing in floodwaters in Queensland have been recovered, Australian police have said.
The 26-year-old man and 23-year-old woman, who were driving from Brisbane to the North Burnett region, were reported missing on Tuesday when they failed to reach their destination.
Police said they had found their silver Subaru Forester near the town of Kilkivan near Gympie on Wednesday afternoon, after a largescale search by officers, the State Emergency Service and helicopters.
On Thursday they said two bodies had been found inside the vehicle, which was submerged in floodwaters. Next of kin had been notified and police were working with the Chinese consulate.
