Police and emergency services were called to the scene at 2.30pm.
The two walkers got into difficulties while crossing a fast flowing watercourse, which had become swollen by heavy rain which had fallen in the area over the past 48 hours.
ALSO MAKING NEWS:
They managed to cross to the other side, and as they continued along the track, their path was again blocked by more fast-flowing water which had formed a waterfall across the track.
Blue Mountains Police Rescue and NSW Ambulance SOT paramedics attended and managed to locate the pair near Nelly's Glen.
Officers set up a roping system and after placing the bush walkers in a harness, they were assisted across the falls safely.
They were examined by Ambulance paramedics before being allowed to leave.
