Westpac Rescue Helicopter crew say that around 1.30pm, on Saturday 11 April, their team was tasked by NSW Ambulance to a person injured after falling from a waterfall onto rocks at Minyon Falls, in the Whian Whian State Forest, west of Byron Bay.
The statement reads, ‘The NSW Ambulance critical care paramedic and the NSW Health doctor from the helicopter’s critical care medical team were winch inserted into the scene to treat the patient. A female in her teens was treated for leg and hip injuries before being winched into the aircraft and airlifted to Lismore Base Hospital’.
