A father and grandfather of an Australian woman and three children in a Syrian detention camp says he's excited at the prospect of having them returned.
The Labor government is set to implement a rescue plan to bring 16 women and 42 children who are families of Islamic State members.
They have been held in al-Roj detention camp in northeast Syria near the Iraqi border for three-and-a-half years following the fall of Islamic State in March 2019.
