Marlborough flooding: Queen Charlotte Track could be closed for months

From Morning Report, 6:14 am on 5 August 2021

The Queen Charlotte Track in the Marlborough Sounds remains closed after heavy rain caused slips, windfalls and washed away a bridge, leaving some sections impassable.

A Department of Conservation senior ranger, Margot Ferrier, told reporter Samantha Gee the Great Walk is temporarily closed while the damage is assessed, which could take several months.
