The Westpac Rescue Helicopter had winch inserted a New South Wales Ambulance paramedic to the base of Protesters Falls around 2pm Tuesday afternoon (July 17) to access a 37-year-old male walker who had fallen onto rocks as a result of a medical condition.
The man was treated by the paramedic for minor injuries and was subsequently able to be walked out of the reserve and transported by road ambulance to Lismore Base Hospital in a stable condition.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
