Bungonia cave rescue 17-Feb-2014 At 3:28:06 PM gnarly_rider

Well, they are all out anyways, from the updated news article above:

"Three cavers trapped underground in the Bungonia National Park for nearly a day have been rescued and taken to the surface."

....

"The men were "cold and wet, but otherwise well", the spokeswoman said.

Inspector John Sheehan said they became trapped between two separate flooded areas in the Hogan’s Extension cave.

Rescuers dug their way through mud and slush to reach the trio.

Receding water levels helped the rescue operation.

"It’s always a delicate operation because you're underground and in a very confined space," Inspector Sheehan said.

The cavers, who declined to be interviewed, gave a thumbs-up when they arrived back on dry land and planned to have a good sleep on Monday afternoon."
