A rescue team walked through heavy snow on Saturday night to reach a family stranded in the Mount Field National Park in Tasmania's south.
The family, two adults and three children, had set out on a planned day walk on Saturday, but weather conditions changed and became dangerous.
Just after 4:30pm the family called police when they were no longer able to access the walking track after heavy snow.
Search coordinator Callum Herbert said the walkers were advised to return to nearby Newdegate Hut and wait for the rescue team to arrive.
He said there was about 30 centimetres of snow in the area.
