A plane with 16 people went missing in bad weather in remote far northeast Australia on Saturday and authorities feared it might have crashed.

A spokeswoman for Australian Search and Rescue told Reuters a search for the aircraft was underway in the sparsely populated region.

The plane was on its way to the remote Aboriginal community of Lockhart River on Cape York peninsula -- about 1,900 km (1,200 miles) northwest of the Queensland state capital Brisbane -- from Bamaga, on the tip of Cape York.
