Helicopter rescues trapped NSW campers

Seven campers, including two children, have been rescued by helicopter from rising flood waters on the NSW south coast.

Two mothers and two children, aged two and nine, were rescued from rugged bushland near Moruya about 12.45pm on Monday.

The helicopter returned to the site to rescue another three campers from the group.

Three men have elected to stay at the site in the hope of driving their 4WD vehicles out once flood waters recede.
