The man escaped injury in the rollover, but a woman was injured, along with two boys.
Ambulance paramedics called for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to transport the patients given the nature of the injuries, and the remoteness of the property.
A second Westpac Rescue Helicopter was already on another mission from Tamworth to Newcastle, so emergency services called for the Toll NSW Ambulance helicopter, which has bases in places like Sydney and Orange.
The Westpac's critical care medical team on board treated the two boys at the scene and they were flown to John Hunter Children's Hospital in Newcastle, and were reported to be in a stable condition.
The woman was flown by the Toll helicopter to John Hunter Hospital on Wednesday afternoon and was also said to be in a stable condition.
