The Sydney family of a Melbourne mother-of-four who drowned after she was swept off the rocks have fought tooth-and-nail to enter Victoria for her funeral amid Covid-19 travel restrictions. Aida Hamed was among four family members who were wiped off rocks at Bushrangers Bay near Cape Schanck on Victoria s Mornington Peninsula at 3.30pm on Wednesday.
Two men nearby jumped into the water to assist but Ms Hamed, a 45-year-old Australia Post worker from Lalor in Melbourne s north, could not be saved.
Ms Hamed s son Daniel Hamed and his partner Alisar Najem, both 25, were worried they were about to be dealt another cruel blow in the wake of her death.
