The grim task of searching for up to 90 bodies in the asylum seeker boat tragedy has now been called off, with only six bodies having been recovered.
Rescuers managed to find 110 survivors who were on the boat that capsized on Thursday between Christmas Island and the Sunda Strait in Indonesia.
Among the rescued were nine children, all boys, including one 13-year-old boy found in the early hours of the rescue operation, a Border Protection spokeswoman said.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (ASMA) said on Saturday that no survivors remained within the extensive search area, and confirmed that all 110 survivors were now at Christmas Island.
AMSA say there may have been more than 200 people on the boat when it left Indonesia but an accurate figure may never be known.

The cause of the capsize is still unclear.
