A father has been hailed a hero after he jumped off a bridge and walked across razor-sharp oyster beds to save a three-year-old girl from drowning.
Father-of-two Scott Windon was enjoying a day out with his family at Birchgrove, in Sydney's inner-west, on January 23 when toddler Mia Bullimore tumbled off a three metre ledge into water below.
Without hesitation, Mr Windon lowered himself onto the nearby rocks littered with sharp rock oysters at Mort Bay Park to save the unknown toddler.
The 'hero dad' managed to scoop up the Mia before she completely submerged under the water.
