A man aged in his 60s has been airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after he fell into a shallow dam on Tuesday afternoon.
The Sunshine Coast-based RACQ LifeFlight Rescue helicopter was despatched to the private property, in the South Burnett, about 2:30pm.
A LifeFlight spokesperson said the man apparently had been working on top of a platform, which was used as the launch area for a flying fox, when he fell about three metres into the shallow water.
The man was treated by the aeromedical crew for suspected spinal and pelvic injuries before being flown to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
