It seams there were a lot, many of which aren't in the usual lists.<br />I find 1868 interesting. That was the year that Chile caused a tsunami on 13/15 Aug 1868. Here in Christchurch there was a quake at 3am, (reported by Van Haast The Press 17th Aug 1868), and then again at 958am on the 17th Owen Pearsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-14383422073700428112011-04-19T06:26:31.362+12:002011-04-19T06:26:31.362+12:00Hi Chelle.

I'm up here in Auckland, the info's in Christchurch ... trouble is, the timeline published by Christchurch Library doesn't mention anything re earthquakes for 1968 (we know there was the Inangahua) -- and doesn't extend to 1996. I would love to have more info, from anyone reading this, to add to the post.Timespannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990716041045862669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-51188564878417182842011-04-18T22:28:08.425+12:002011-04-18T22:28:08.425+12:00Hi, Thanks for the info do you think you could tra...Hi, Thanks for the info do you think you could track down anymore, I have lived in CHCH all my life and remember a earthquake in the late 60's, it may have been the 1968 Inangahua earthquake, I also remember 2 in about 1996 or there abouts.

I should have checked the <i>Timamru Herald</i>!<br /><br />I was amazed, as well, when GNS expressed surprise about the fault lines.

Apart from the terrible loss of life, its awful to see the damage to this beautiful city. My Dad, though born in Dunedin, grew up in Christchurch and the city has strong family connections for me. I was last there about 4 or 5 years ago - we walked the Banks Peninsula track.
