In a dramatic rescue operation, a man in his 20s was saved after a fall from The Pillars at Mount Martha. The incident occurred around 5:15 p.m. yesterday. Emergency responders swiftly arrived on the scene, providing immediate medical attention for his serious injuries. He was subsequently airlifted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital for further treatment.

Later that evening, the emergency services were called into action once more. Around 8:30 p.m., a teenager faced a harrowing 40-meter fall from a cliff at Half Moon Bay in Black Rock. High-angle rescue specialists expertly navigated the cliff face to bring the young man to safety. Once extracted, he was lowered onto the beach and transported by ambulance to The Alfred hospital. Fortunately, he was reported to be in stable condition.

These incidents followed another cliff-related emergency earlier in the week. On Friday, emergency services responded to a call in Beaumaris, adjacent to Black Rock, after a woman sustained injuries from a cliff fall around 1:15 p.m.

He was extricated from the cliff face and lowered onto the beach, where an ambulance transported him to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition.

On Friday, emergency services were called to Beaumaris, next to Black Rock, around 1.15pm after a woman fell from a cliff.

The woman, aged in her 30s, was rescued by firefighters and rushed to The Alfred in a critical condition.

The rescues come as Victorians continue to flock to beaches, sparking a renewed safety message from Life Saving Victoria.

“It can be inviting to go to these secluded locations, but we do know that this is where people are most often getting into danger,” Life Saving Victoria’s Dr Bernadette Matthews said.

“Tragically we have found that this has resulted in deaths that have occurred and also tragic injuries as well, spinal injuries that really cause that long-term impact for people.”

Matthews urged beachgoers to only visit water areas that were patrolled by lifesavers.

“We know that with this warmer weather and over the summer period, people are really looking at those different locations ot go and recreate around,” she said.

“It can be really enticing to follow that latest social media trend, but really that is not worth the cost of a life.”
