The body of a teenage boy who went missing while swimming at a popular Gold Coast waterhole has been found.
Police divers, with the help of swift water rescue, found Aiden Braumann, 13, just after 10:00pm on Thursday.
He went for a swim just before 5:00pm but failed to resurface.
Preliminary information suggested he went to the falls with friends but was under adult supervision, police said in a statement.
Senior Operations Supervisor Paul Young from the Queensland Ambulance Service said there had been heavy rain in Mount Tamborine recently.
"Some of it feeds into Cedar Creek, I believe it's still flowing quite swiftly there," Mr Young said.
"He was playing in a rock pool.
"The waters up there, because of the heavy rainfall, were moving quite quickly and he just got swept away."
Aiden's mother, Sherry Carroll, said she did not know how she was going to get through it all.
"That is the hardest thing," she wrote on Facebook.
"My son, I love you so much."
Aiden's aunty, Samara Jade, said the family wanted him to be remembered as a boy with lots of life.
"We love him with every piece of our heart and are so incredibly shattered and still in denial."
A report is being prepared for the coroner.
Mr Young is urging swimmers to take care.
"A lot of people do swim in rock pools all over the Gold Coast and come out quite safe," he said.
"The message is that, with the recent rain, you really don't know what's beneath you.
"You really don't know, in a rock pool that's fairly deep, what's happening underneath with the water current.
"If the water's flowing really, really quick and you could be beside a waterfall — just be mindful that the current could drag you into that waterfall."
There was a second incident at the waterhole earlier on Thursday.
Just after midday a woman fell and slid 100 metres down the rocks.
She injured her leg and was winched by helicopter from the scene, in a stable condition.
