00:00It looks like it's largely remained intact and narrowly avoided the house that was in
00:08front of it. And this all happened in a small suburb called Macrae, which is in between
00:13Arthur's Seat and Rosebud, which are quite popular this time of year, coastal communities.
00:19And it was just near Point Nepean Road, which is a scenic route that many people take to
00:23view the peninsula. Police, Fire Rescue Victoria and the ambulance have, as well as SES, have
00:29all responded to the incident. And one person was taken to hospital. They're now in a stable
00:36condition. We have also spoken to people who are walking nearby as well, and they heard
00:41this large rumble, which they initially thought was a truck, later finding out that it was
00:46a house. And locals are concerned because there are about a dozen houses on that cliff.
00:53So it's left a lot of those houses largely exposed. Previously on quite a stable cliff,
00:58now it's not that stable anymore. So again, with the weather that we've received with
01:03the heavy rain over the weekend, people are concerned about those other houses. So hopefully
01:08this is an isolated case.
