Two women picnicking in Sydney's south drowned after a freak wave swept them off rocks and out to sea. A third woman swept off rocks is recovering in the hospital.
Emergency services were called to Yena Road at Kurnell in the Sutherland shire. The group had been picnicking in the Botany Bay national park when they were knocked into the water by a large wave.
The women were unable to be revived despite CPR attempts. The incident occurred in a dangerous location near the ocean where the women were swept off by the strong waves.
The group was not rock-fishing, but enjoying a walk when the tragedy occurred. This incident marks the second drowning at Kurnell in less than two weeks, highlighting the risks of the area.
