White water rafting group assisted to safety from Franklin River

Sunday, 16 November 2025 – 3:55 pm.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Search and Rescue officers were dispatched this morning to a group of nine white water rafters on the Franklin River in western Tasmania.
Police were notified that the group of rafters, who were part of a commercial white water rafting group, had become isolated shortly after 8.30am this morning (16 November).
The group, aged between 30 and 50 years of age, had been on an extended rafting trip but were running low on supplies.
Communication was maintained with the trip guide via satellite device, allowing the group to seek assistance before forecast heavy rain made extraction and resupply difficult.
Acting Inspector Adam Starr said Search and Rescue officers were dispatched to the area using the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and extracted the members of the party to safety.
“Thankfully, no-one in the rafting party was injured or required medical attention after the rescue”.
“The group was prepared for the trip with over a week’s worth of supplies, and appropriate communications devices and we’d like to thank the tour organisers for acting early and prioritising safety and avoiding a potentially dangerous situation with deteriorating weather conditions”.
“It’s also an opportunity to remind adventurers of the importance of being prepared before heading out on an expedition”.
“Tasmania’s wilderness can change rapidly with weather and rain events, and being prepared and acting early can save lives,” said Acting Inspector Starr.
Before heading into remote areas, always plan ahead and carry appropriate safety equipment, including:

An EPIRB, PLB or reliable communication device, such as a satellite device when mobile coverage may be limited.
Adequate food, water, and shelter for unexpected delays.
Knowledge of weather forecasts and contingency plans for severe conditions.
