Senior Constable Paul McKenzie said a skidder had slid off the top of an access road and rolled about 100 metres into a cut over area in a narrow gully.

The skidder driver has been extracted from the machine and a rescue helicopter has winched a paramedic to him.

The rescue helicopter will attempt to winch the patient off the site.
