Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial

Reviewed By Ginges_revenge - Brisbane, Australia

It was a lovely and touching memorial to those who lost their lives in the earthquakes. It nestled alongside the Avon river and is lovely in the stone with the names inscribed. The little pink boot with some stones with the name Mandy on them was a graphic reminder of the loss and really humanized the experience. Its a must do to pay your respects to those that lost their lives in the quake.

Reviewed By 716sachink - Plainview, United States

Bridge of Remembrance is a wonderful dedication to those soldiers who passed away in World War I. It is a stone bridge with a sculpted triumphal memorial arch. Certainly worth a photo stop.
