A man’s body has been found days after he went missing in a rain-swollen dam.
The man in his 40s was reported missing on Sunday afternoon after he dived into Beardmore Dam near St George, in Queensland’s southwest, and failed to resurface.
An extensive search was launched with police, SES volunteers, swift water rescue crews and aerial teams scouring the dam.
