A clifftop that has become a crime scene after a mother and her two-year-old plunged to her death in a suspected murder-suicide has a dark history.
A 33-year-old mother is believed to have jumped from the picturesque cliff near Wollongong, south of Sydney, on Tuesday afternoon, with her daughter in her arms.
Their bodies were retrieved from the base of the cliff below Robertson Lookout at Mt Keira later that night in a painstaking recovery operation.
In an eerie twist, it has now emerged that a 31-year-old woman jumped off the same cliff holding her five-year-old son Tom in April 18, 2002.
The young boy suffered head injuries, a dislocated hip, a fractured wrist and scratches but managed to survive the fall as his mother's body absorbed most of the impact.
Distressed family members were seen being comforted by emergency services
