A desperate search is underway for a child missing after floodwaters engulfed two cars.
The vehicles were trapped in rising water at McGrane Way Tullamore, north-west of Parkes, in the central west of NSW shortly before 8pm on Friday night.
Emergency services found four people found clinging to trees as the water surged around their vehicles.
The NSW SES retrieved the stranded travellers in boats.
After they were rescued, the four people were transported to Dubbo Hospital but a five-year-old child remains missing.
'The two vehicles remain submerged in floodwaters and police will remain onsite and wait until they can access the vehicles,' NSW police said in a statement.
