British tourist drowns near popular Australian waterfall
A body of a British man who was swept away at a popular Australian waterfall has been found.
The 25-year-old man, from the United Kingdom, was found dead about 1,800 metres downstream of Josephine Falls, near Cairns, in north Queensland.
He had been swimming with a Canadian woman in ‘treacherous conditions’ when he was swept away by a powerful current on Tuesday about 5.30pm local time, reports the Daily Mail.
Police said the tourist and a woman had jumped into the water at Josephine Falls when they became separated.
The officer said the woman was able to swim to the river bank and although the man resurfaced he vanished shortly afterwards.
