Swan Island, off the coast of Queenscliff, is more than 20 kilometres from where the teenagers were sighted at Rosebud. “We were very much worried, they were not good swimmers, they can swim but do not have the skills to swim in the Bay,” he said. “It might be a beautiful day, but you’ve still got to keep a very firm eye on where you are in relation to the beach and what’s happening around you.” “The channel area is where we have main shipping from The Heads through to Melbourne, so it can get very deep and run very fast,” he told Nine before the teens were found. It was a “huge relief” the teens were found, but he told reporters they were not the strongest swimmers. The teens were “very cold and relieved to be on dry land” after drifting across the bay on two inflatable paddleboards, he said. He said the teens finished their VCE and were celebrating in the area. “To be actually able to present them with the news that they’ve been found safe and well, it was a really emotional, happy time,” he told ABC Radio. He said it was a “fantastic outcome” for their families, adding that the teenagers were “lucky”. The “cold and disorientated” teenagers were able to find shelter in a hut before security found them wandering the island when the sun came up, police said. “The four couldn’t fight against the easterly wind so floated with the tide and ended up on Swan Island – on the opposite side of the bay - around 2am,” they said in a statement.
The teens, aged 18 and 19, went missing from Rosebud on Monday night. Director of Gone Fishing Charters, Chris Vasilevski, says they could easily have been ...
“When we get those easterly winds and we have the ebb tide which I think was around 1am last night … “It’s a credit to the young fellas, they must have had their wits about them.” “It’s a long way to sort of drift along, obviously they wouldn’t have had much control with the easterly winds we’ve been having,” Mr Vasilevski told Tony Jones, filling in for Neil Mitchell.

"It was the winds and the current and the tides at the time that have taken them over there."
