DUE TO A SUDDEN HEAVY RAINSTORM, THE WATER IN THE STREAM ROSE QUICKLY AND BECAME A RAGING TORRENT. TWO OF THE BOYS MANAGED TO REACH THE BANK WHILE THE OTHER TWO WERE STRANDED ON THE ROCKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREAM.
SUBSEQUENTLY, THE FORESTRY GUARD POST AT THE COUNTRY PARK WAS INFORMED OF THE DANGEROUS SITUATION AND A RESCUE PARTY RACED TO THE STREAM.
ON ARRIVAL AT THE SCENE, IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE WATER LEVEL HAD RISEN TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT THE TWO BOYS TRAPPED ON THE ROCKS WERE IN DANGER OF BEING WASHED DOWN THE STREAM.
THE RESCUE PARTY QUICKLY FORMED A MAKE-SHIFT BRIDGE OUT OF A LOG AND SOME ROPES, AND BROUGHT THE BOYS TO SAFETY.
