Man falls 30m from cliff at golf course

A man is in a serious but stable condition after nearly severing his feet when he fell 30 metres down a cliff near Sydney's Bondi beach, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service said.

The 35-year-old fell from a cliff at a golf course in Dover Heights, adjacent to north Bondi, on Sunday afternoon.

A paramedic and a doctor had to be winched in to help him because he landed in hard-to-reach area.

Rescue helicopter spokeswoman Amanda Donohue told Macquarie Radio the man nearly severed both feet in the fall and had lost a lot of blood.

"He's suffering with fractures to both legs and feet, suspected spinal injuries, and he's sustained quite a bit of blood loss," Ms Donohue said.

He was flown to Prince of Wales Hospital.

Police said they believed the man may have been trying to get down to the water to do some rock fishing.
