In the Centre of Christchurch. Behind us is the “Red Zone” where many buildings have had to be knocked down due to the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.
![Page 30: Potter family summer holiday 2012 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052600/557ea6e0d8b42ac5658b4cb2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We swam all day at Hanmer Springs. The pools were hot, some were sulphur pools (40 degrees!). Lots of fun slides, water buckets and a kids water playground.

Prawn farm Taupo. Geothermal powerstation waste water is used to farm prawns. The big ones like this are males.

At the Huka Falls, Taupo. Dad says the Waikato River travels north almost to Auckland, about 400kms. It is used to make our lights go and we probably drink it in Auckland too. We went home the next day :(.
