Two hikers have been winched to safety after spending nearly 24 hours stuck on a cliff in southeast Queensland.
The pair became stranded on Mount Beerwah after finding themselves in an awkward spot when one fell and suffered a serious cut to his leg on Saturday afternoon.
They had camped out on the mountain after rescuers were unable to reach them by foot on Saturday night.
Heavy rain and low-lying cloud on Sunday hampered efforts to rescue the men, whose ordeal was finally over when they were winched to safety by a CareFlight helicopter around 3pm.
Mount Beerwah is a popular spot for hikers as it is the highest peak in the Glass House Mountains with a height of 556m.
