It was 6.2 Ammi and we were only 30km from the epicentre. The actual quake was a really weird experience but it was more the fear of aftershocks or an even bigger earthquake happening that was unpleasant. Not so worrying during the day, but it was always on your mind when going to bed.

Where was it Lee?

...yeah, I can understand that Lee..that's quite a big one as well and we're not used to them here so it must have been very scary..I think also. especially as you're a mum ...our fears seem to be much more heightened when we have children because it's that protective thing..I don't think I ever worried about anything until I had my boys...I'm going to kick them later for making me such a worry person...

Turkey Annie... which is a shame as I completely fell in love with the place and the people, but I'm wary of going back now.

So true Ammi.. if it wer just Dave and me, I'd be booked up to go again, but its totally different when you're responsible for 2 little people. I cant even describe the fear I felt when I realised Lara was at the very top of a massive waterslide when the quake hit... or the relief whenwe got her down.
