A New Zealand man has died after a tragic motorcycling accident in Australia.

Queensland police say the 49-year-old was riding with a group of friends on Tuesday when he lost control of his motorbike and crashed into a tree.

"Other riders attempted to provide first aid,'' Queensland police said, "however, the 49-year-old New Zealand national was pronounced deceased at the scene.''

The crash is now being investigated by the Forensic Crash Unit.

Australia's authorities are appealing for anyone with information on the crash to contact them.
