Persons missing in water, Bellambi

Shortly after 0800 hours, the Surf Life Saving State Operations Centre tasked Lifesaver 1 to attend at Bellambi, north of Wollongong, after a number of reports to Triple 0 suggested that several people had been swept a long distance out to sea.  The Westpac Life Saver was stood down shortly before arriving on scene as the persons were rescued by local surf lifesavers.
