A young woman wearing thongs and active wear has been winched to safety by a helicopter after a rising tide left her trapped on the rocks at Bondi Beach.
The woman, who was joined by a man, was found trapped at the bottom of a cliff just off the path of the iconic Bondi to Bronte coastal walk in Sydney at 3.15pm on Friday.
A Westpac Rescue helicopter lifted the pair up and flew them to nearby Marks Park in Tamarama, safely dropping them off without any serious injuries.

The dramatic rescue was all thanks to Westpac Life Saver Rescue who sent out a chopper
Westpac Life Saver Rescue chief executive officer Stephen Leahy told Daily Mail Australia the couple became trapped when the tide began to rise.
‘A chopper was immediately sent out as soon as the distressed call came in.
‘After a short search the helicopter located the two young adults, a young male and one female.
‘The woman was winched onto the rock ledge to Marks Park while the man was rescued by life savers on foot,’ he said.
He said the couple were rescued within a half and hour from when the call was made.
No ambulance was required as no one was injured.
