Aerial footage shows slip damaged on Queen Charlotte Dr following wild weather in Marlborough.
A Christchurch couple had to message emergency services through a friend in Auckland after a mud slip cause by heavy rain took out two baches beside them in the Marlborough Sounds.
Christchurch woman Lucy Clark and her husband Alastair thought their “mini break” in Pukenui Bay, off Queen Charlotte Drive, would be “wonderful” until the weather went “wild”.
During their first day at the bach, their neighbour, a long-term resident, told them the heavy rain that had been battering the upper South Island on Friday night had caused the road out to collapse a metre, trapping them in the bay.

Forestry company's $3m bill for failed harvest wiped after bad advice from council

Zindia Limited managing director Jacob Mannothra, pictured at a Marlborough forestry site in 2010.
A forestry company has had a $2.89 million debt set aside by the High Court after failing to harvest on deadline for a contract written on bad advice from the Marlborough District Council.
Zindia Limited signed the contract in 2016, to harvest pine trees on Arapaoa Island, previously known as Arapawa Island, between Tory Channel/Kura Te Au and Cook Strait in the Marlborough Sounds.
The trees were owned by Arapawa Island Forestry Partnership, which leased the steep, difficult property and planted the trees in 1986. The lease expired on August 31, 2020.
