Cliff face rescue: Youth falls down 50m cliff during birthday celebrations - Eden magnet

One youth is seriously injured and two others are shaken after an 18th birthday celebration on Friday night went horribly wrong.

A distress call was made to emergency services, from a cliff face at Eagles Claw Nature Reserve, Yule Street, Eden, at 10pm on April 24.

The caller said an 18-year-old male had fallen approximately 50 metres down the cliff, landing close to the water’s edge.
