A dad has drowned after attempting to rescue his 11-year-old daughter who was swept out to sea at a beach in New South Wales.
The family, including three children, were at Lennox Head and enjoying the beach when the 11-year-old drifted out to sea on a bodyboard, said police.
It led to the dad, aged 45, swimming out and trying to help her before getting into trouble himself at around 6.30pm local time last Wednesday.
