Christchurch lies on the Canterbury Plains with views of the Southern Alps mountain range. The city has hill suburbs nestled in what are called the 'Port Hills'. Christchurch is well known for its many parks and gardens, including Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens.
Jason Gunn being uncharacteristically energetic Snapped at the Crusaders charity cricket match. The guy in the hat (a spectactor) had just caught the ball, and I think that meant he’d won some money – hence the celebratory dance.
It’s that time of year again! I’m doing the rounds and apologising for my complete failure to more regularly offer comment on everybody’s incredible efforts for the year. I know how hard it can be to keep up with the daily grind of everyday posting, and want to thank you for your efforts.
I especially want to wish festive greetings for all from down here at [nearly] the end of the world, the bottom of Tasmania.
