Two bushwalkers have been rescued from a track in Tasmania's remote south-west.
Police say the two women, from South Australia, called for help "due to conditions".
Police say while the pair was equipped for the walk, they are reminding anyone venturing into the bush to ensure they're prepared.
Two bushwalkers from South Australia have been rescued from the Western Arthur Range in Tasmania's remote south-west.
Tasmania Police said the women, aged 58 and 26, activated a satellite device about 8pm yesterday, and reported they needed help "due to conditions".
They were rescued from a track at Haven Lake.
Police said the weather conditions meant the rescue helicopter was unable to reach the women.
A search and rescue crew was dropped by the helicopter on Arthurs Plains at 5am today, and then walked to the women.

"The rescue team located the pair about 8am and are in the process of transporting them back to Hobart," police said in a statement this afternoon.
"The pair was checked as a precaution and do not require medical treatment."
Police said the pair was equipped for their planned overnight camping trip, and their personal locator beacon ensured a quick response from emergency services.
"It's a timely reminder for bushwalkers in remote areas to carry sufficient food, water, communication equipment and emergency shelter for unexpected delays," Senior Constable Cameron Rennie said.
'It's also really important to ensure all gear, such as equipment and clothing, is independently stowed so it keeps dry."
