My heart goes out to the family whose road trip around Australia was cut short yesterday when Kathreen Ricketson and Robert Shugg drowned while swimmming near Coral Bay in WA's north, while their children aged 13 and 10 watched helplessly from the beach.
The couple from Canberra set out for a swim at Elle's beach, 5.5km north of Warroora Station and just two minutes from their camp site. Locals said the beach, on the Ningaloo coastline just south of Coral Bay, was renowned for rolling waves and strong undercurrents.
The children's grandparents and uncle have now flown from Tasmania to care for them.
Please always check the local conditions and ask about known hazards durng your Australian adventures. Keep yourself safe.
