A woman’s body was found three days after a hiker fell from a cliff near a popular waterfall.
The woman was walking at Belmore Falls in Robertson, in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, when she slipped and plunged almost 100 meters into the water on Sunday around 1pm.
Police and paramedics were called to the area and emergency crews began searching for the 20-year-old, however they were unable to find her.
But police divers believe on Tuesday that the body recovered at 11:30 a.m. is that of the missing woman.
The woman’s body has not yet been formally identified.
