Hi Peter, my impression was Akaroa is common name also used for whole peninsula - but correct name is Banks Peninsula (land east from Lake Ellesmere and Lyttelton Harbour), right?

I am changing the photo title, thanks!

A note regarding the containers, Phil, these things are bloody heavy & may have added weight inside them, they are all locked togeather, (at least those that are stacked on each other or end to end or to side etc), with bracing that you can see in this image to stop more sidewise movement etc.

The hay bales are cheap indeed, but they are soo blooming easy to find a half a million of them - & there is no other easy, cheap system available to provide a bit of flexiable 'padding' that can be use to fill the gaps...

As for repairs to this building, apart from having to wait until the shaking has finished, (quake #9617, was at 11:23pm 7/2/2012, all Canterbury shakes since 4/9/2010...), it will need to be pulled down completly before they can start the rebuild, be it partial, full or only a bit.

The damage is to the lower & upper parts of the whole building & you can not just 'glue something back togeaher' when it is so large - it needs to be started again.

SuperGlue and by guess & god will not hold something as large as this building togeather. Especially when it was built without substancial reinforcing to hold it togeather.

Same with the catherdral in the Square - built with the same methods, maybe a bit different stone, but the same ideas were used for this building & others in ChCh & other places in NZ.

It sure will be a big job when the start all the fixing up... PB

This is what remains of Druimsallie Forest looking southwest towards Glen Callop and the hills to the east of Loch Sheil. The trees were planted in the 1950's under my father's supervision and are being progressively harvested. The plantings won an award as one of the best and more diverse plantings in Scotland. At that time the forest was owned by West Highland Woodlands. As a teenager I used to hunt the roe deer which had a taste for the high sugar content of the young trees.
