Drone Saves Stranded Family

A family won’t forget their day trip in Far North Queensland in a hurry. The four adults and baby were caught in extreme weather in January when ex-Tropical Cyclone Imogen caused flooding and their car was stranded between two rising creeks. With no mobile network, a quick-thinking member of the group sent up a drone with a phone attached to get their SOS text message out. The relieved group were rescued the next day.
