A woman has fallen 50 metres to her death at a lookout near Nowra on the New South Wales south coast.
Emergency crews were called to the lookout at McKenzie’s Saddle walking track at Buangla at about 11.45am on Monday with reports a woman had fallen.
Police officers from the south coast district, police rescue and the Toll rescue helicopter were dispatched, and a short time later the body of a woman was found below the lookout.
Guardian Australia understands the fall was believed to be accidental and the woman’s family were at the site at the time. The woman was yet to be identified.
An operation to retrieve the body was completed by NSW police at about 5.20pm. A report will be prepared for the coroner.
It is not the first death that has occurred at the scenic tourist spot, which is about 25km west of Nowra.
A 13-year-old boy died after falling off a cliff near the McKenzie lookout in 2019, news.com.au reported at the time.
Online reviews of the location say the lookout has scenic views of the Yalwal state forest and is easily accessible.
