A LOCAL 60-year-old Byron Bay man was rescued from a cliff face after being swept onto the rocks by a wave whilst riding a surf ski this morning.
Tweed Byron Police District Sergeant Daniel Magrin who was the officer on scene said the police were notified at 9am that a man had been sighted hanging from the cliff face between The Pass and Wategos beach.
After being washed to the shore on his surf ski, the man attempted to climb up the cliff face to reach the path above but got stuck about 50ft above the waters edge trying to hold on to grass with one foot on a rock ledge.
NSW Police, Ambulance and Fire and Rescue services attended alongside NSW Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) who sent volunteers from the vertical rescue service to winch the man from the cliff down to the ground.
While waiting for the VRA crew to arrive, Fire and Rescue crew threw a rope and a safety lanyard down to secure the man from falling.
Apart from minor abrasions the man was uninjured.
“I would just like to thank everyone involved in the rescue, for the great team effort among services, it came to a great conclusion,” Sergeant Magrin said.

Today ( Wednesday 10 Sept. 2025 ), they begin the 1,000km journey carrying his ashes to Canberra – they’ll be among thousands of riders joining the annual “ride for the fallen”
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Senior Sergeant Brendan Wiblen, a valued member of the Queensland Police Service. Brendan tragically lost his life in a motorbike accident near Glen Innes while participating in the Wall to Wall Ride, a charity event honouring fallen officers across Australia.
With 28 years of dedicated service, Brendan was a District Duty Officer on the Gold Coast and previously the Operations Leader of Central Patrol Group. Known for his leadership, quick wit, and unwavering commitment to the community, he was deeply respected by his colleagues and loved ones.
Our thoughts are with Brendan’s family, friends, and fellow officers during this incredibly difficult time. We will continue to honour his service and legacy, and as his family has requested, the Wall to Wall Ride will continue in his memory.
The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is deeply saddened to confirm the death of Senior Sergeant Brendan Wiblen, 58, following a single-vehicle motorbike crash near Glen Innes in New South Wales yesterday.
Senior Sergeant Wiblen was participating in the annual Wall to Wall Ride charity event, which honours fallen police officers across Australia, at the time of the tragic incident.
With a distinguished career spanning 28 years after joining the Queensland Police on March 11, 1996, Senior Sergeant Wiblen served as a District Duty Officer stationed at the Gold Coast. Prior to this, he held several key roles within the Service, including Operations Leader of Central Patrol Group, where he was known for his leadership and commitment to the community.
South Eastern Region Assistant Commissioner Brian Swan expressed his deepest sympathies to Senior Sergeant Wiblen’s loved ones and colleagues.
“Our thoughts are with Brendan’s loved ones, who are dealing with this tragic loss. The police family stands together in grief and will continue to support Brendan’s family during this unimaginable time.
“Brendan was a dedicated officer who served with distinction throughout his career. He was highly thought of by his colleagues and was known for his attention to detail and quick wit. His service to the community will not be forgotten, and our thoughts are with all those who knew Brendan during this incredibly difficult time,” Assistant Commissioner Swan said.
Commissioner Steve Gollschewski offered his condolences to all who have been impacted by Senior Sergeant Wiblen’s tragic loss.
“The Service stands in solidarity with Brendan’s family, friends and colleagues to provide support during this time of grief,” Commissioner Gollschewski said.
“It is absolutely devastating that Brendan lost his life during an event honouring our fallen members.
“This is a heartbreaking loss for our entire Service, particularly for Brendan’s colleagues on the Gold Coast, who worked closely with him day in and day out. His passing will have a significant impact on officers who not only valued his leadership but also considered him as a dear friend.”
Senior Sergeant Wiblen’s family has indicated they wish for the officers to continue the ride to completion.

A veteran Gold Coast police officer has been killed in a crash on an annual police remembrance ride for members who have died in the line of duty.
Gold Coast district duty officer Brendan Wiblen was an avid motorcyclist and had served with the Queensland Police Service (QPS) since 1996.
Senior Sergeant Wiblen died in the single vehicle crash on the Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance near Glen Innes in New South Wales on Wednesday.
Senior Sergeant Wiblen’s family say they wish for the officers to finish the ride.
The Queensland group left from Brisbane for Canberra on Wednesday.
New South Wales Police said the crash happened about 3:20pm on the Gwydir Highway as the 58-year-old motorcyclist attempted to overtake another rider, lost control and went down an embankment.
“Members of the public administered CPR until NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived, however, the man died at the scene,” they said.
Top brass pay tribute
QPS said in a statement Senior Sergeant Wiblen had a distinguished career holding roles including officer in charge at Southport Station.
South Eastern Region Assistant Commissioner Brian Swan expressed his deepest sympathies to Senior Sergeant Wiblen’s loved ones and colleagues.
“The police family stands together in grief and will continue to support Brendan’s family during this unimaginable time,” he said.
“Brendan was a dedicated officer who served with distinction throughout his career. He was highly thought of by his colleagues and was known for his attention to detail and quick wit.
“His service to the community will not be forgotten, and our thoughts are with all those who knew Brendan during this incredibly difficult time.”
Queensland Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski offered his condolences to all who have been affected by Senior Sergeant Wiblen’s loss.
“The Service stands in solidarity with Brendan’s family, friends and colleagues to provide support during this time of grief,” he said.
“It is absolutely devastating that Brendan lost his life during an event honouring our fallen members.
“This is a heartbreaking loss for our entire Service, particularly for Brendan’s colleagues on the Gold Coast, who worked closely with him day in and day out.
“His passing will have a significant impact on officers who not only valued his leadership but also considered him as a dear friend.”
Tributes in Queensland parliament
The Queensland Premier Steven Miles has expressed his condolences to the family of the officer in parliament today.
Police Minister Mark Ryan also told parliament “life can be cruel in the most shockingly unexpected ways”.
“This morning like so many Queenslanders I’m struggling to come to terms with the loss of a much-loved member of the QPS,” he said.
“It is almost beyond comprehension that this off-duty officer should lose his life just as he is engaged in a memorial event in honour of other fallen police officers.
“For the officer’s family, this must be the most extraordinarily difficult time.
“I know that the police family will offer them every support and I know too that there will be every support for the officer’s colleagues and friends who were riding with him.
“This is a tragedy on so many levels. A family has lost a loved one, police have lost a colleague, and Queensland has lost a dedicated police officer.”
Union says healing will ‘take time’
Queensland Police Union President Shane Prior was on the memorial ride.
He said the loss was being felt deeply across the state.
“Today our hearts are heavy,” Mr Prior said.
“All of our colleagues are devastated, the colleagues on the Wall to Wall but also our colleagues around the state. This is going to take a long time to heal.
“Our pain, however, is really insignificant when we think about his family today.
He said NSW police will investigate.
A report will be prepared for the NSW coroner and officers from New England Police District have begun an investigation into what happened.
“It is so sad that one of our colleagues has lost his life, but we know that everything that could’ve been done to save his life was done,” Mr Prior said.
