Meanwhile, Liette stepped up into mini triathlon (11-13 years) for the first time and was also the first girl home despite taking on older triathletes.
Liette set a time of 27:54 for the mini course (swim: 200m, cycle: 6km, run: 1km).
The Tindalls make a weekend out of it each year and mum Keirra said the girls "love it".
"They love the environment over there. It's a really fun weekend over there. People travel from all around to do it," she said.
Triathlons are a real family affair for the Tindalls.
The kids are all water babies, Kierra said, and eldest son Jacob, 13, has previously competed at the Nestle Junior Triathlon.
He was first home in the mini triathlon last year but didn't compete in 2021 with Kierra saying: "He's having a break at the moment."
Meanwhile, youngest son Jock, 6, also competed this year and took part in the mini aquathon.
"He loves it. He gets in and has a go and it's great there's one he can participate in," Kierra said.
The kids first got into triathlons after giving it a crack on Australia Day a few years ago. They train with John Hickey on a Saturday as well as at home during the week.
