A NSW Surf Life Saving drone has found a man who went missing in bushland on the Mid North Coast.
The man had been missing for two days, and police had serious concerns for his safety, when the search started last Thursday near Kooloonbung Creek.
The nature reserve surrounding the creek is a dense, 52-hectare park, in the centre of Port Macquarie.
Port Macquarie Lifeguard Supervisor James Turnham began an aerial search at 1pm over water and bushland.
Just after 2pm that day, and with the low battery signal sounding, James saw a small blue object in the trees.
He launched the drone again and was able to tell rescuers where to go.
