Paramedics treated the driver for his injuries before he was airlifted to St George Hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
NSW Ambulance Inspector Christopher Lahene said it was a miracle the two survived.
'When we are called to jobs like this, where a car has accidentally gone off a cliff, it's quite confronting for our paramedics,' he told news.com.au.
'It's miraculous, even though the car plunged about 30 metres, that the patient was able to walk out of the scene.
'If I were him or the person out for a walk, I'd be getting a lotto ticket because surviving something like this is quite extraordinary.'
