Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.

In short:

The seafarer went overboard from a bulk carrier off the coast of Newcastle around 11:30 on Thursday night.

A multi-agency search had been underway since midday, about seven nautical miles offshore.

A recreational fisherman found the man in the water while returning from a day out fishing.

I was going to post this but one version of the story said they swam 8km to shore and were found on the beach so it was unclear which was more authoritative.
