This jaw-dropping footage shows the terrifying rescue. Seven tourists seen here huddling on the side of a steep cliff in Australia.
Turbulent white cap waves crashing below them.
First responders say the group of four adults and three children were hiking around the edge of the water on the country's southeast coast about 4 hours south of Sydney when they became trapped by the high tide.
They managed to climb up the rocky cliff to that thin ledge where they spent three nerve-wracking hours pressed together as rescue crews rushed to help.
A helicopter arrived first, but the conditions were deemed too dangerous, forcing the hikers to instead be extracted one by one up the cliff.
All seven thankfully making it out safely.
But officials describing the ordeal as a dangerously close call, saying had the waves gone just a foot higher, the group likely could have been pulled into the sea.
