A tourist has been hospitalised after falling six metres down a cliff at the Mornington Peninsula National Park in Victoria.
Emergency services were called to rescue the 25-year-old near Cape Schanck in Flinders about 1.15pm today.
The 25-year-old was unconscious and choking on water.
Emergency services walked across the rough terrain to move the woman to higher ground on a stretcher to avoid the rising tide.
Then, a helicopter helped winch her and fly her to the Alfred Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Paramedic Jo Wilton told 9News the woman was missing her teeth and appeared to have a hip and wrist injury.
The woman is a tourist from Austria who was visiting Bushrangers Bay, which is known for its picturesque views.
She is believed to have climbed the estimated 12-metre-tall Elephant Rock before falling on the way back down.
“There’s no actual tracks to get up to it, and on the way down, she has fallen, where there might have been some loose rocks,” Wilton said.
