An operation is underway in Cradle Mountain National Park to rescue two bushwalkers who activated a personal location device last night.
The device was activated about 7:15pm. An attempt was made to reach the area with the helicopter last night, but weather conditions resulted in the deployment being cancelled.
The weather conditions are being assessed again this morning.
A search and rescue walking party was deployed to the area last night and located the two bushwalkers, who had mild hypothermia. Medical assistance was provided and they are being walked out this morning.
