Four tourists have been rescued after spending two days stranded near Corroboree Billabong after bogging their vehicle on Friday night.

A local fisherman called Police saying that he had seen the people on the bank.  The fisherman supplied GPS coordinates and Police from the TRG located the tourists around one o’clock this afternoon.

A helicopter was used to lift the stranded people to safety.

The tourists, all males aged in their twenties, are in a good condition.

Watch Commander Greg Pusterla said that people must be prepared if they are travelling by road this time of year.

“Road conditions can change very quickly and we urge travellers to take care and ensure they are carrying the appropriate emergency supplies and equipment.

“The people are lucky that a fisherman was able to assist Police in this situation and they were located unharmed.”  Watch Commander Pusterla added.
