Missing giant yellow duck found in Australia

Sydney  : A giant yellow inflatable duck named Daphne that made a break from its moorings in Australia has been located after a week on the lam, its swimming club owners said yesterday.

Daphne -- the oversized mascot of the Cockburn Masters Swimming Club in Perth -- made a bid for freedom on March 11, drifting out into the Indian Ocean and sparking an appeal for help along Australia’s west coast.

Reports of sightings flooded in, including one from 440 kilometres (270 miles) away.
