New Zealand Earthquake - We're in total shock!




Hello All! Just a quick update from us here at Bark-a-lot Lodge. As many of you will have heard, a terrible earthquake devastated the city of Christchurch yesterday.

We are safe but our thoughts and prayers go out to all those that have lost a loved one in the quake.

Fire and rescue services worked all through the night to free those people still trapped under collapsed buildings. We heard on the news this morning that a specialised crew of Ausralian rescue workers has just landed and there will be more rescue teams from the US, the UK, Japan and Taiwan arriving in the country today.

Please keep the people of Christchurch in your thoughts and prayers.

Love, Josh and Jessie

  1. You were the ones I thought of when I saw the news this morning. I'm glad to know your family is safe.

    I hope the rescue crews (and dogs!) are able to find and save many.
