An acclaimed Brisbane artist has been reunited with the man he credits saving his life 47 years ago, after he put a call out to find him in the media.
Robert Brownhall almost drowned when he was three years old during a day at the beach with his family near Bundaberg in 1971.
The artist said if another three-year-old boy names Dean Barry hadn’t alerted his parents, he would’ve died at Kelly’s Beach that day.
