Man dies in cliff plunge on Great Ocean Road

A WOMAN was trapped for nearly two hours above her partner's dead body after the couple's car plummeted off a cliff on the Great Ocean Road.
The couple were travelling east along the busy tourist route when their car drove through the guard rail near the Cape Patton lookout, east of Apollo Bay, about 4.30pm.
The male driver was flung from his seat and landed on sharp rocks more than 20m from the car.
He died on impact.
Rescue crews used binoculars to monitor the woman's condition, before winching her to safety.
CFA District 6 officer Byron Kershaw said it took about 90 minutes to free the woman, who is believed to be in her 40s.
"She was conscious the whole time. When rescue crews arrived they could see her waving her arm," Mr Kershaw said.
"It was a very technical rescue, because the embankment was vertical.
"Rescue crews used robes to take down their hydrolic equipment."
The impact had caused the vehicle's motor to be flung from the bonnet, he said. An air ambulance landed on rocks near the mangled Volkswagen, which had fallen about 150m below the cliff.
She was flown to Kennett River for stabilisation before being flown to The Alfred.
A spokeswoman for Ambulance Victoria said the woman was suffering injuries to the pelvis, legs and stomach.
She was in a serious but stable condition.
Points South Hotel owner Bryan James said the road was not dangerous but people were often distracted by the scenery or tourists who forgot which side of the road to drive on.
Mr James said he travelled the road daily and often saw tourists stopped in the middle of the road.
