A 13-year old girl has drowned trying to save her younger brother who was struggling in the rough seas in Dalyston, Victoria.
The 11-year-old boy and his sister were swimming at about 8pm at Williamson’s Beach on Thursday when the waves became rough.
The sister and her father went to help him, but soon the girl got into trouble as well. She was pulled out of the water unconscious, and despite her family, ambulance paramedics and the police trying to save her, she did not survive.
