Woman falls off Phillip Island cliff while trying to take photos

The woman, aged in her 20s, fell at Cape Woolamai in Phillip Island and was winched to safety by an air ambulance on Sunday.

An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said the woman had been stuck for “some time”, with injuries to her back and upper body.

A Victoria police spokesperson said she fell down the cliff face on Sunday afternoon and confirmed that “crews worked to winch the woman to safety”.

Bass Coast acting police inspector Dave Fyfe told the ABC that the woman’s injuries were not life-threatening but included multiple fractures.

Fyfe warned that “physics doesn’t come with a selfie clause and gravity’s a one-way trip”.

Fyfe said the incident was a reminder for people to be careful in the outdoors as warmer weather approached.
