Four children have been found safe and well almost a day after they were abducted in north Queensland, but the man allegedly responsible is still on the run.

Police said the three girls - aged three, seven and eight - and a four-year-old boy had been found on Friday morning.

Officers are still hunting for 28-year-old Joshua Carter, who allegedly abducted the children from a rural property at The Leap, north of Mackay, about 11.30am on Thursday.

He has a solid build, a shaven head and a bushy beard with multiple tattoos, including several Joker-themed face tattoos.

Mr Carter, who knows the children, was last seen driving them south towards Mackay on the Bruce Highway on Thursday.
