A young Australian who was the only member of his family to survive injuries from the Whakaari White Island eruption in 2019 has described a lack of information about the dangers for tourists visiting the active volcano.
The court has heard how tourists from a cruise ship were told to wear covered shoes and given helmets and a gas mask, and told to keep to the track.
It's the second week of a trial in Auckland District Court over alleged health and safety failings in the lead up to the deadly eruption that killed 22 people and left 25 seriously injured.
Amy Williams has been in court and filed this report.
