A 21-year old was hauled from a ledge after he fell eight metres down a cliff at Tunnel Beach this morning.
A fire communications spokesman said fire services were alerted to an incident shortly after 7am that indicated a man had fallen from a cliff at Tunnel Beach.
The man had fallen about 8m from the track and then a further 2m on to rocks.
Fire services established a line-rescue rig and hauled the man up using a harness.
He was escorted back to the carpark where he was treated by ambulance.
The fire spokesman said the man sustained cuts to his forehead and had bruising.
A St John spokeswoman said the man was transported to Dunedin hospital with minor injuries.
Police were also alerted to the incident.
