It is hard to imagine the destruction which surrounds this area on such a beautiful clear calm sunny spring morning, It seems as if Christchuch has changed forever. I wonder how long it will take us to recover.

A man carrying a life-saving ring printed with the words 'Marlborough Chamber of Commerce' that is attached to a rope labelled 'Business lifeline' shouts 'Ahoy Christchurch businesses!' Context - enticing Christchurch businesses to other places after the earthquake. Marlborough Chamber of Commerce general manager Brian Dawson said the chamber's first priority was supporting Christchurch businesses through their association with the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce.
