Bondi cliff fall survivor Keith Wilson tells rescue tale
Sixteen year old Keith Wilson, employed at Sydney Hospital, fell over 100 feet and endured a twelve hour ordeal on a Bondi cliff ledge with both arms and legs fractured. He crawled to a higher ledge through icy spray and sought rescue as dawn broke. Three fishermen initially failed to spot him, but a cliff-top signal and help from his friend, father, and ambulance crew brought him to Sydney Hospital, where he lies in Ward 1 with multiple fractures.
