There's jubilation in the Tasmanian town of Beaconsfield, with the rescue of miners, Todd Russell and Brant Webb.

The two men spent two weeks trapped underground.

The pair walked out of the Beaconsfield mine Tuesday into the arms of family and friends, and the cheers of a whole town.

Two ambulances taking the men to Launceston General Hospital were cheered by hundreds of people.
