Mr Folau, who is disabled and has trouble walking, tried to escape by climbing on a tree.
A 57-year-old Tongan man who swam for about 27 hours after Saturday’s tsunami swept him out to sea is being described as a “real life Aquaman”.
Lisala Folau said he was painting his home in Atata – an isolated island of about 60 people – when his brother warned him about the tsunami, which hit land at about 7pm local time following an undersea volcanic eruption.
