A body has been recovered following the search for an 81-year-old man reported missing last week.
Emergency services were called just after 4.45pm on Sunday after reports the man had gone under the water near the Forster–Tuncurry Bridge, which spans Wallis Lake and links the twin towns of Forster and Tuncurry on the NSW Mid North Coast.
Officers from the Manning Great Lakes Police District, assisted by Surf Life Saving Australia and Marine Rescue NSW, conducted a multi-day search before suspending operations on Tuesday.
About 12.45pm on Wednesday, members of the Marine Area Command recovered a body in the water near the Forster Breakwater, NSW Police said.
The bridge and breakwater are popular fishing spots, frequented by locals and visitors alike.
While formal identification has not yet occurred, authorities believe the body is that of the missing man.
A report will now be prepared for the coroner.
