The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was tasked on Anzac Day to the property and airlifted the 25-year-old in a stable condition.
On Tuesday, a man suffered serious injuries after a motorcycle accident. The chopper was called to the Yarrowitch area about 6pm, after reports of a dirt bike accident east of Walcha.
The helicopter service said the 59-year-old man had reportedly sustained multiple “trauma” injuries at the scene.
Due to the remote location, he was winched on a stretcher into the helicopter and flown to Port Macquarie Hospital in a serious condition.
It was a busy 24-hours for the helicopter service with an early morning transfer from Collarenebri to Tamworth hospital on Anzac Day morning for a patient with a medical condition.
