Customs officials say they are not sure where the boat people are from - although signs on the boat say 'We are Sri Lankan'

Australian customs officials have confirmed that they have intercepted 79 people on a boat between Christmas Island and Indonesia.

The boat was picked up by the HMAS Armidale after it responded to a distress signal.

Most of those on board are men, but the nationality of the passengers, the ship's origin and its intended destination remain unknown.

Meanwhile, Malaysian authorities are tracking a second boat also believed to be heading to Australia.
