Pulled out this morning, from the mine at around 4:50am AEST. They did not surface until around 6am, and physically walked out of the gates of the elevator.

An amazing achievement honestly. They were so bright and happy within themselves after all they have been through.

The Australian PM, John Howard indicated this morning on national tv in a live telephone call that they will likely receive a national reception.

Today their colleague Larry Knight is laid to rest, and Brant and Todd have advised they will strongly like to attend it.

This is truly an amazing story, and I will continue to say Aussie mateship pulled these two men together until the final minutes of when they escaped.

To all the rescuers, and everyone involved, what an effort.
