Ten-Minute Walk “Tragic Hour”

Ten minutes further down the beach and Kieron Moore could still be alive. This is the time it took for him and his family to walk away from the flagged area where they had been swimming, which was safely patrolled by Surf Lifesavers. This short walk proved to be a tragic mistake that led to the first drowning off Gold Coast beaches during the festive season. According to rescuers, it is a tragedy that could have been avoided.

Tweed Heads resident Shane Christian jumped on his surf board and headed 70m offshore to try to save Mr Moore. But by the time he reached the Toowoomba man, he was unconscious. “If tourists just learn to swim between the flags, maybe this type of thing wouldn’t happen. There should be signs warning of rips up and down the beach”.
5. What mistake did Kieron and his family make?*
6. Where was Kieron Moore from?*
7. How long did it take Kieron Moore to walk away from the flagged area?*
8. How would you make beaches safer so that this sort of event couldn’t happen again?*
9. Please do the following calculations

10. If I had two and a half dozen eggs and I broke three of them, how many would be left over?*
