Guess who's son? Ok I admit this is self indulgence from a proud Mum, but thems the breaks. 
From the Warnambool Standard.
Who was that man? Hero saves car from river.
East Warnambool resident Joan Brown is desperately seeking her super hero.
She knows he exists because he just swooped over in the nick of time and stopped her car and it's irreplacable contents from rolling into Warnambool's Hopkins River last Friday afternoon.
But the mysterious stranger whom Joan describes as tall, dark, handsome and young disappeared leaving the former RSPCA manager without the chance to thank him for his dexterous feat.
Joan said she had parked her Corona sedan at a picturesque point overlooking the river. Then just after she, her four year old grandson and two dogs got out disaster struck.
"I felt the car moving and leaned over to try to put the brake on and lost my footing and off went the car, " she said.
"It was rolling down the slope towards the river and gaining speed and I just called out to a passing motorist.
I've never seen a fellow run like it.
He caught up with it and leaned and stopped it for long enough for me to lean in and pull on the hand-brake."
Joan has no doubts that without her mysterious strangers intervention the car and it's invaluable contents, including an audio-tape of a recently deceased friend's voice and a brand new video camera containing "irreplacable" footage, would have been history.
"It would have rolled straight into the river without a doubt. Straight into the drink,"she said.
In this day and age when good turns tend to be a thing of the past there is a young man in Warnambool that I will be eternally grateful to.
"I'd just like to thank him in person so I am hoping he won't be bashful and will come forward."
