Biscuits, tablets and a protein drink were passed to the two men, with authorities warning it could be another two days before they could be brought out of the mine.
A pipe, 12 metres long and 10 centimetres in diamater, had been laid through the rock and the food passed through.
Rescuers have stopped blasting inside the mine and are said to be bringing a borer down to continue digging a second tunnel to reach the shaft where the men are trapped.
The second tunnel has not been extended since the men were first discovered alive on Sunday.
Authorities have told of hearing the men calling for hot food, in their first contact with the outside world in almost a week.
"It's cold and cramped in here. Get us out," one of them told rescuers, The
Australian newspaper reported.
"They were yelling out 'I want bacon and eggs'," a fellow mine worker told Australian Associated Press.
Microphones dropped down through the debris to where the men remain trapped allow them to communicate with rescue teams.
Todd Russell, 35, and Brant Webb, 37, were working nearly a kilometre Underground at Tasmania's Beaconsfield Gold Mine when an earth tremor caused a rockfall on Tuesday night last week.
While 14 other miners managed to make it to the surface, Mr Russell and Mr Webb remained trapped.
Despite the death of one other miner, rescuers made the miraculous discovery that the remaining two men trapped are still alive late on Sunday, saved from the rockfall by the 1.2-by-1.2 metre metal cage they were working in at the time of the tremor.
Bill Shorten, Australian Workers' Union national secretary, said rescuers are now drilling a tunnel to the survivors to give them food and water.
Rescuers are working to break through the last 12 metres of rock to create a rescue tunnel and have warned the men are not likely to be brought to the surface for at least 48 hours.
They made contact with the miners at 5.45pm (AEST) on Sunday and the men are believed to be in good spirits despite their ordeal.
"We believe they are in reasonably good health given the length of time they have been trapped in the mine," Mine manager Matthew Gill said.
"After we found they were alive, our first priorities were to establish communications and assess their conditions and needs."
Rock falls
Mr Russell and Mr Webb were trapped on Tuesday night after a seismic event triggered rock falls in the mine.
Mr Gill said all rescue options are being examined, including pushing a smaller probe hole in the new tunnel to the area where they are located.
"Conditions in the area are very dangerous and rescuers must proceed with extreme care. People should not underestimate the difficulties involved in getting them out safely.
"Safely accessing the trapped miners is paramount and this will take some time so I would like to urge people to be patient," Mr Gill said.
Mr Webb's father John told The Australian the water sustaining the pair is heavily mineralised and rancid but had allowed them to survive.
Families and colleagues of the trapped men say their survival is nothing short of a miracle.
Jubilation
The discovery that the two men were still alive brought jubiliation to the Beaconsfield community.
"The town went mad," said Noel Russell, father of one of the trapped miners.
"Cars were up and down the streets, there were people screaming, fire engines, the church -- it was the whole town."
Mr Webb's wife Rachel was told by a mine official who ran to the family home to break the news.
"He knelt down in tears and said they were alive," Mrs Kelly said.
"It's absolutely wonderful, we really didn't expect it."
Todd's Russell's mother Kaye Russell said: "Todd's putting in for meal allowance, overtime pay and living away from home allowance, so I hope they've got their cheque book ready."
