A seven-year-old girl has been hailed a hero for rescuing a toddler from drowning after she fell into a public pool.
Phoebe Van Niel, a Year 2 student from Perth was holidaying with her parents at a hotel in Broome, situated in Western Australia's far north-west, when she witnessed the toddler accidentally falling into the pool.
The little girl was praised for her quick thinking, as she dived straight into the pool without hesitation, long before anyone else noticed the toddler was in distress.
