A father and son from Wales have drowned while swimming at an unguarded beach near Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
Robin Reed, 46, and his 17-year-old son, Owen, from Caerphilly County in South Wales, got into difficulty in the water at Seventeen Seventy in Queensland on 13 April. A third man, an Australian national, was also rescued and airlifted to hospital with serious head injuries.
