A teenager has been rescued after falling 15 metres down a cliff at Greta.
The accident happened at the Hunter River Reserve about 4 o'clock on Tuuesday afternoon, with rescue crews arriving to find the boy entangled in a tree and at risk of falling further to the ground.
Paramedics and a doctor were roped down to the youth and he was brought to the top at about 7pm suffering a broken leg.
NSW Ambulance says the difficult and complex rescue was compounded by fading light and the onset of rain.
The boy was taken to the John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
