A family of prospectors who became stranded in a remote part of Western Australia have been found with their vehicle, which had several flat tyres.
The 65-year-old man, his 66-year-old wife and their son, 33, left their Boddington home on Wednesday last week to travel to Windsor Station in the state's Mid West and were last seen in Mt Magnet two days later.
They failed to return home on Sunday as expected, sparking an aerial search on Tuesday over Windsor Station near Mt Magnet and Sandstone, followed by aerial and land search on Wednesday.
Police said just before midday the trio were found safe and well by a worker from Inglewood Station, some 30-40km north of the property.
Preparations were underway to rescue the family.
