Qld: Search for man missing on 4WD trip

BRISBANE, Aug 21 AAP - A ground and air search has been launched for a man missing
with his motorcycle after failing to return from a four-wheel-drive trip in far north
Queensland.

The 47-year-old man from Cardwell set off from Hahn River, about 80km north of Laura,
about 9am (AEST) on August 19, but failed to return later that evening, police said today.

A search of the area the following day located the four-wheel drive, but the man was
missing, along with the motorcycle he carried on the back of the vehicle.

Police believe he has some knowledge of the area.

State Emergency Service personnel are assisting police with their search, which also
involves two helicopters.
