Landslide.
According to article, the landslide affected people living nearby, 3000 people have became homeless and power supply cut off from the area. The landslide occupied 150 meters of the national highway, which prevented heavy vehicles from transporting store goods, fuel and medical supplies to four provinces.

"About Me"
I’m Duu, from Papua New Guinea (PNG). You could view the photo of a girl in traditional dressed and imagine about my culture. I have been in New Zealand for three weeks. I am an International student and residing at Unitec village. I like going to church and learning computer skills.
I’m married and have a three-year old daughter living with her mother in PNG.
My future plan is to obtain a Bachelor Degree in nursing. Then I’ll be returning home to work in PNG.
I have a Certificate in General nursing and a Diploma in Health Education. I worked as a general nurse in PNG for four years.
I speak Tok Pisin (National language) and English. I have learned English for more than 10 years. The reason I'm studying english is that it will enables me to do my main stream course. I am better at speaking. However, I need to improve my grammar and pronunciation.
I have been to Australia and New Zealand. My first experience and an unusual thing in New Zealand is time changes. My first day I noticed that it was 8:00 pm but it wasn't dark. I was surprised and thought if I were in PNG the place would have been dark.
