Teen's heroic swim saves family swept out to sea and triple murder manhunt

A 13-year-old boy from Western Australia swam for four hours through dangerous seas and then ran two kilometres to raise the alarm after his family was swept out to sea while kayaking near Dunsborough. Austin Appleby's heroic decision to leave his mother and two younger siblings clinging to a paddleboard in the dark saved their lives, with rescue crews locating the family after more than eight hours stranded four kilometres offshore. Meanwhile, police have extended their manhunt for Julian Ingram, accused of triple murder at Lake Cajelago, to Sydney, and a fast-moving bushfire threatens the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide.
