Search continues for Swedish student who fell from Sydney cliff into water
A young Swedish student is still missing after falling from a cliff and into the water while sightseeing in Sydney.
Police have seen no sign of the man, believed to be 20, as the search resumed today after he fell from rocks and into the water at Bluefish Point in Manly yesterday afternoon.
"He was climbing on a rockface we're led to believe it's an unofficial trail that they were climbing on and he has simply fallen through misadventure," NSW Police said today.
