Injured Woman rescued from Mystery Creek Cave

Just after midnight last night Police Search and Rescue Officers rescued a woman with a broken femur from Mystery Creek Cave.

Around 1:30pm yesterday Police responded to a report that a woman in her 40s had fallen a distance of around 8 metres while caving.  The call for assistance was from her caving companion.

The woman had travelled around 100 metres into the cave when she fell.

Two Westpac Rescue Helicopters were deployed to the scene with Ambulance Tasmania members and Search and Rescue police who extracted the woman from the cave just after midnight.

Police would like to thank local SES volunteers and members of Southern Tasmanian Caverneers for their valuable assistance in difficult conditions.

The woman was carried a considerable distance on a stretcher to the waiting helicopter and conveyed to the Cenotaph at around 2am for transport to the Royal Hobart Hospital.
