Two men observed warning signals in the terrain just hours prior. One out walking at 6am phoned 111 but was told, ring council. He warned folk at the Council owned camping ground. He’s said he wished he’d kicked up more. The other, an hour or so prior to the slip, observed slips and waterfalls around the area, took photos and spoke to people there. After leaving the slip came.
Update: As it has transpired today, it’s been revealed that a man phoned 111 at around 6am notifying of slips in the area. He was told to ring the council. This explains the woman who also raised the alarm at the camp ground at 5am. Link to the NZ Herald articles below.
The UK Daily Mail reports: “The woman is being praised by locals after she frantically pulled campers from their beds at 5am and warned them of danger so they could start packing up to leave.“
