My name is Emma and this is my story. In 2007 I just turned 9. A few months later mum decided to go for a holiday in Cairns. We were all exited. It was awesome until we got to mossman gorge. We swum in the water. Then mum decided to go for a swim around a big rock. We hopped on the back of her, we did not notice that there was a super strong current.
We got swept away about 1 metre from that rock. So another mum jumped in to save us. Mum said she would rather us survive instead of her. Me and my sister were fine sitting on the rock. Mum was still holding onto the rock trying to get grip. I was crying hoping mum would get up. A few seconds later that mum pulled my mum up and we were so grateful.
And from that day on, we still remember the sadness and how scared we were. And thats my Story.
