Wellington's Ngaio Gorge Road will be closed for at least the rest of the weekend, following the large landslip early this morning.

Two very closely adjoining landslips have sent large boulders onto the road.
The city council says contractors started removing the rubble this morning, but have been pulled back because a lot of rock was still coming down.
It said five or six truckloads of rubble, mainly big boulders, had come down from the hill.
