Video of the stranded 4WD leaving the snow.
Updated: Good news. Reports out today say all the vehicles that were stranded on the Old Man Range after a blizzard a couple of week ago have been rescued. A local bulldozing contractor cleared a path along the track so all the vehicles could be brought down. The operation had the approval of the local district council.
