An Australian woman plunged about 260 feet to her death in front of her horrified husband and two sons after climbing over a safety barrier at a “perfect selfie” spot at a nature reserve, according to reports.
Rosy Loomba, 38, of Craigieburn, was hiking with her family at the picturesque Grampians National Park in Victoria on Saturday afternoon when she decided to pose for a photo at the Boroka lookout near the village of Halls Gap, news.com.au reported.
Police have issued many warnings about the dangers of the idyllic spot — famed on Instagram as the “perfect selfie” spot — but the woman nonetheless scaled a railing and plummeted to her death as her husband, Basant, and two young sons looked on helplessly.
It took emergency personnel more than six hours to retrieve her body from the rugged terrain using a winch, according to the news outlet.

One of the most impressive things to me at the Grand Canyon in Arizona is that there’s no fences, or barriers, or whatever.
Any idiot can just go over to the edge and fall 3000 feet if they want to.

Methinks the tragic outcome made the selfie less than perfect.
