From Auckland to Christchurch

Christchurch is a South Island city with loads of character. The 2010 and 2011 earthquakes flattened much of its historic centre, but pop up galleries, public murals and an unswervingly strong sense of community has bloomed in its place. Peeks of its European heritage remain in Hagley Park, where you can go punting on the River Avon. Beyond the city limits, things go back to nature.
