A family of five has escaped a moving caravan after it was stolen by a brazen car thief in northwest Queensland.
The parents and three children - aged six to 12 - were staying at a Hughenden caravan park when they heard their car start after 9pm on Monday.
The family were all inside the caravan when the parents and children then felt it move.
"The family were able to exit the caravan as it was driven off by the offender," Queensland Police said.
The family was taken to hospital as a precaution.
The car and caravan have since been recovered by police but the thief is still at large.
The car keys had reportedly been stolen from the caravan earlier that day, police said.
