Fitzroy Falls is a locality in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, in Wingecarribee Shire. It was previously known as Yarrunga but was renamed after the 81-metre waterfall located there.

First discovered in the early 1800s by Charles Throsby, Fitzroy Falls (the waterfall, in Morton National Park), was named after the New South Wales governor Sir Charles Fitzroy during his visit to the beautiful area in the 1850s. While a town was planned for the area in the 1860s, little development occurred. With the advent of motor vehicles, Fitzroy Falls became, and still remains, a popular stopping point for tourists travelling towards the Highlands. Substantial parking and catering facilities have been provided, together with pathways and boardwalks which enable able-bodied visitors to view the falls and other spectacular natural features

The new Augusta AW139 helicopter will be based in the Illawarra as part of the Greater Sydney Helicopter Network. The new helicopter has a greater range, improved reliability, more space to treat patients and a cruise speed 25 to 30 per cent faster than their nearest rivals. For every two hours of flying time, patients will get to hospital nearly 30 minutes sooner.

The AW139 can transport two patients (or one intensive care patient with medical equipment) at high speed across NSW. It is capable of being tasked for missions that include:

Rescues from mountains, cliffs, canyons, and other ordinarily inaccessible areas;

Sea rescues for drowning persons and patients from both large and small vessels;

Transport accidents (cars, pedestrians, motor cycles, pedal bikes) with the capacity to land near the patient and transport direct to a major trauma centre;

Intensive care patients from one hospital to a higher level care;

Specialist patients with lifesaving equipment such as intra aortic balloon pumps and lung bypass machines; and

Bariatric patients.

The AW139 can travel at more than 300 kilometres per hour at lower levels and even faster at higher altitudes resulting in fewer flight hours, fewer regular periods of scheduled maintenance, reduced downtime and quicker response times. It’s a safer aircraft for patients and paramedics, with full collision avoidance systems and instrument capable to operate in non-visual conditions at all hours of the day and night and offshore.
