An American tourist has spent the night stranded in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, after she fell 15 metres off a cliff while bushwalking.
The 25-year-old from the US state of Wisconsin was walking near Pulpit Rock, Mount Victoria with a group of friends on Friday when she slipped from a track.
She fell about 15 metres and rolled a further 20 metres down a steep slope, police say.
Rescue crews found the woman suffering a possible broken ankle and broken ribs.
She remained with an ambulance team overnight due to low light and foggy weather conditions.
If weather conditions are favourable, a doctor will be dropped into the location by helicopter on Saturday and the injured woman will be winched to safety, police said.
