A woman who got lost while hiking in the Grampians in Victoria's west on Thursday has been located safe and well by emergency services.
Police report she was found in the Halls Gap area just after 5pm by SES members.
The 22-year-old set off alone for the hike in the Mount Rosea area near Halls Gap about noon, before calling her mother at 8pm last night saying she was lost.
Her mother notified emergency services at about 10pm, who then began scouring the area.
The search was suspended at 3:30 this morning, but crews, including SES members from nearby Ararat and Stawell, returned to the search at 9am.
Last year, a volunteer at the Stawell SES unit told the ABC it attends up to 80 rescues in the Grampians in an average year.
Mount Rosea has an altitude of more than 1,000 metres, and temperatures in the Grampians dropped to just 1.4 degrees Celsius on Friday morning.
