Concerns are growing for a man missing after swimming across the Murray in the South Australian Riverland.
An extensive search of the river and the riverbanks at Lyrup, with police and volunteers using a helicopter, boats and quad bikes, has failed to Paul "Kiwi" Henderson.
Described as a popular local identity, the 46-year-old was last seen early on Wednesday morning after he went swimming in the Murray.
He had made it to the other side of the river, but has not been seen since.
Inspector Kylie Walsh said police were appealing for public help in locating the missing man.
