Irish tourist dies after late-night swim in Australia

A POST Mortem is being carried out today on the body of a young Irish tourist who was drowned in Australia at the weekend.

The 21-year-old man died after going for a late-night swim last Saturday at a holiday resort renowned for its hot baths.

Police in New South Wales said the victim and two friends had spent several hours drinking before the tragedy in a nearby hotel in the small resort of Burren Junction about 600km north-west of Sydney.
