Teenage Girl Stable After Cliff Fall At Catherine Hill Bay

BY IAN CROUCH

A teenage girl is nursing multiple injuries and fractures after falling from a cliff at Catherine Hill Bay.

The 17-year-old was jumping from the cliff into the water yesterday afternoon when she lost her footing and fell up to 15 metres onto rocks.

She was treated at the scene before being flown to the John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.

The Hunter's Westpac Chopper landed near the cliff top at Catherine Hill Bay:-



Meanwhile, a 40-year-old man has been flown to the Royal North Shore Hospital Burns Unit after a burnoff went horribly wrong at his Kitchener property on Friday night.

He was using accelerant on the fire when it caught alight leaving him with serious burns.

And, the chopper flew two 12-year-old boys to Tamworth Base Hospital after they crashed into each other on motorbikes at a property about 10 kilometres north of Blandford on Saturday afternoon.
