Two men found in dinghy after boat sinks

The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter has located two men in a dinghy, surrounded by wreckage, after their boat sunk, off a beach north of Noosa.

The chopper was called to the scene by Queensland Police Service (QPS) just before 2pm.

Once the crew located the partially sunken boat, about 300 metres off the coastline, they were able to communicate with them and confirm they were uninjured. 

The chopper hovered overhead, with the crew keeping a close eye on the boaties, while a Noosa Coast Guard vessel travelled out, to pick them up and take them to safety.
