Researcher Dylan helps as boat sinks in Calliope River 

Published on 24 November, 2011 

CQUniversity Gladstone researcher Dylan Charlesworth was involved in a rescue in the Calliope River near Gladstone recently.

While carrying out a boat movement survey for the Centre for Environmental Management, Dylan heard a bang and spotted that a motor boat had struck an underwater cable running from a barge.

The rear end of the boat was ripped off and the boat started to sink, causing alarm for a man and children aboard.

Nobody heard the cries for help so Dylan drove around to a nearby boat ramp and persuaded a boatie to help by towing the stricken family.

The resourceful researcher was called on again when the rescue boat's engine cut out short of the ramp. He found some rope and dragged the boat back to the ramp.
