Southland correspondent Kirsty Pickett joins Kathryn to talk about how the deep south fared in the recent bad spring weather, particularly in Fiordland, where a landslide left a house perched on a cliff edge.

Kirsty Pickett co-owner of the Southland App based in Te Anau, covering Southland and Fiordland.
