20s woman rescued, airlifted to hospital with fractured ankle after falling in bush near Bargo River Rd in Tahmoor.

A woman in her 20s was rescued and airlifted to a hospital after suffering a fractured ankle from a fall in the bush near Bargo River Road in Tahmoor. The incident took place about one kilometre upstream from Mermaid Pools. Emergency crews, including firefighters and paramedics, had to walk through the bushland with a stokes litter (emergency stretcher) to reach the woman. She was then airlifted to Liverpool Hospital. This comes after another injured bushwalker fell from a waterfall at Mermaid Pool in January.
