Australia : Jetski farmer rescues folk from flooded river.

Recommended Posts

Two lorry drivers have been saved from rapidly rising floodwaters in a dramatic jet ski rescue operation in western Australia.

The men became stranded on Saturday after trying to cross the flooded Nullagine River near Marble Bar, some 1,400km (870 miles) north of Perth.

Rescuers were unable to help the men for hours because their helicopter was too small to lift them to safety.

But a local farmer arrived on his jet ski to ferry the drivers to the shore.
