A British tourist has died in Australia after falling from the top of a waterfall.
The 20-year-old man is said to have fallen about 300 ft at Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, after slipping from rocks.
New South Wales police said the man, who was on holiday in Australia, was in a group of eight friends and had travelled from Sydney’s Bondi area to the Blue Mountains for a picnic and a walk along a bush trail.
He was walking with friends at Wentworth Falls when he slipped at midday local time on Sunday, the BBC reported.
His friend called for help and police, ambulance and rescue teams arrived at the scene but were unable to reach his body.
A police spokeswoman said: “The location is extremely rugged and difficult to access, despite the rescue crew being very experienced.”
