Earthquake shakes up our NZ neighbours

An earthquake shook the city of Christchurch in NZ in the early hours of yesterday morning, with a magnitude of 7.4 buildings were destroyed, bridges collapsed, gas leaks were caused and water and sewerage mains ruptured. Christchurch mayor Bob Parker immediately declared a state of emergency. 6 Australians were present at the time of the quake, luckily none were injured. Our thoughts are with those left with no running water or electricity.
