A WESTPAC Rescue Helicopter flew to the rescue after an abseiling incident at Clouds Creek last week.
The chopper responded to a call from NSW Ambulance at around 10:30am on Thursday, 27 November, with reports a person had been injured while abseiling at Clouds Creek, northwest of Coffs Harbour.
A NSW Ambulance critical care helicopter paramedic was inserted via winch into the remote location, treating a teenage girl for ankle injuries.
The patient was then winched into the aircraft and further treated and stabilised by the helicopter’s critical care medical team and airlifted to Coffs Harbour Airport for transfer by road to Coffs Harbour Hospital.
