| Safari:
Fault line
Shaken...
not stirred!
On
the safari we have privileged access to private land which just
happens to contain the beginning of Wellington’s major
faultline. It's awe-inspiring depth and contours make for
a memorable experience. Many visitors leave shaken!
A faultline
is a simply a weak place on the earth’s crust that
gives way when the pressures and tensions get too much to bear – know
the feeling?! Our particular faultline is 80 kms (50 miles)
in length, and goes right through our city of Wellington. It moves
(on average) every 600 years – the last time it moved was around
1450, so we’re due for "the big one" soon.
