ABC news article continues: Mr Bresland said the 13-year-old's detailed description of the colour of the kayak and paddleboards was invaluable to search efforts. "Within an hour, we found the kayak," he said. He said the family were treading water in rough seas for hours before they were found. The mother somehow managed to keep the other children with the paddleboard. "Physically, she just said, 'I'm struggling, I can't,' but she just said they're looking her in the eye, and she just kept going and kept them together," Mr Bresland said. "She's an absolute hero as well. To keep those two children together and not give up is absolutely incredible."
In fact, a family of legends!

The 13-year-old tried to paddle back to shore on his kayak before it took on water in rough seas. He then swam for four more hours to shore and successfully raised the alarm. Naturaliste Marine Rescue commander Paul Bresland said the 47-year-old mother, her 12-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter were eventually found at 8:30pm, clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore. Mr Bresland said the efforts of the 13-year-old, who continued to swim to shore through choppy waters, were "superhuman". "He swam in, he reckons, the first two hours with a life jacket on," he said. "And the brave fella thought he's not going to make it with a life jacket on, so he ditched it, and he swam the next two hours without a life jacket. "I thought, mate, that is incredible."โ
