Mirani MP Stephen Andrew has issued an alert for parents following reports of small children being washed downstream at Platypus Beach.
In a statement on his Facebook page, Mr Andrew urged people to be cautious of strong currents, combined with underwater trees and debris.
âIt has come to my attention that there is quite a flow in the Pioneer system through Platypus Beach,â he said.
âA concerned kayaker has told me of a number of small children he rescued downstream almost out of sight from their parents.
â ⦠Always be alert and always have more than one lookout if you are otherwise engaged.â
