Pushing-Up for mental health in June

Australia’s largest fitness-based mental health event, The Push-Up Challenge, is back in 2023, encouraging Australians to push for better mental health.

The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter was tasked to Mount Warning (Wollumbin) yesterday (Sunday February 3) after a female walker had a fall on the walking track, resulting in lower leg fractures.

Due to the heavily timbered nature of the area, the only way to extract the patient was by using helicopter’s winch capabilities.

The 32year-old woman was fitted with an air rescue vest and accompanied by a NSW ambulance paramedic and was winched out of the location.

She was flown to Tweed Hospital in a stable condition.

  1. Whitey is advised to honour the place by not climbing it, and women especially so as it’s an Indigenous sacred MALE space.

    Some people in their ignorance are just stupid!

  2. Yes respect the local culture. Whitefellas climbing wollumbin is disrespectful. You can’t possibly understand it so leave it alone ffs.
