A heartbreaking find this afternoon for SES, Police and neighbours of the Scott family. 

Police divers have confirmed they've found a body, believed to be missing 2-year-old boy Ruben Scott. 

He's been located in a large dam near the homestead on Koolatah station, 100kms east of Kowanyama. 

It has been a marathon rescue operation with tactical crime, SES, Police, Police divers and snipers on croc watch all making their way to the cattle station in the North West.
