Well done Hudson and Marley!! 👏👏
❤🖤🤍
Tasmanian brothers Hudson, 13, and Marley, 10, have helped save a 4yo boy found unconscious at the bottom of a Cairns caravan park pool this week.
The Carlton Park Surf Life Saving Club Nippers were using pool slides during their family's caravan trip around Australia when Marley spotted what looked like a shadow at the bottom of the pool. He alerted his brother and Hudson dived down, pulled the boy up and handed him to their mother Samantha Lancaster.
“The boys were heroes. They were heroic,” Lancaster told Pulse.
Lancaster said a nurse by the pool performed CPR and “brought him back to life” and described the rescue as "a really good team effort".
Their Nippers club praised their “remarkable bravery, awareness and leadership beyond their years”.
"We are so proud of Hudson and Marley for their courage and the way they represented our CP community," the club said. "Congratulations to both for being true heroes."
