Drone footage has revealed dangerous lengths tourists go to for a selfie at Wedding Cake Rock in New South Wales.

The picturesque setting at the sandstone rock formation certainly lends itself to a dramatic picture; however, this video taken on October 1 shows just how close to the edge people are willing to go to get their shots.

The New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service and others have said erosion under the sandstone rock could cause it to collapse into the sea sometime in the next decade, and that the increased number of visitors coming to take selfies are not helping the matter.
