Underwater and overhead drones, police watercraft and a team of specialist divers are searching a popular Northern Territory swimming hole for the body of a tourist suspected to have drowned. Northern Territory police have reported witnesses saw a 57-year-old swimmer struggling in the lower pool of Edith Falls, in Nitmiluk National Park, at about 3pm on Tuesday, before he slipped below the water. The man — an interstate tourist — was visiting the national park, north of Katherine, with his family on a holiday to the territory. By James Elton for ABC News Northern Territory.
