Three people are missing in waters off South Australia after a fishing boat did not return to shore.
Police were alerted about 8.30pm on Monday after the boat did not return to Port Lincoln.
Water police, local Sea Rescue, a PolAir helicopter and a Challenger aircraft all worked into the evening to search for the missing fishermen.
Numerous messages were sent out across marine radio channels to alert vessels in the area to take part in the search.
About 2am on Tuesday, the helicopter located an upturned boat near Spilsby Island.
One man and one child were located on a reef and winched to safety. They were taken to hospital where they are being treated.
The search for the three missing people continues on Tuesday.
More to come.
