A photograph submitted by Philip Broderick Willis to the QuakeStories website. The description reads, "Timaru Welfare Centre – Set up for EQ evacuees. Thought it was a little unfortunate that the only suitable venue there had a spring-loaded floor! Still, they were so welcoming and wonderful. It was such a relief to be there.".
