For the past few days wild weather has held up plans to begin a special eradication program on a rugged Subantarctic island.

The project aimed at eradicating rabbits and rodents is no overnight quick fix. It's expected to take five years and cost at least $25 million.
From the island, Tracy Bowden reports.
