Kiwi Kruzer Posted September 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Its taken several years , but the decision to rebuild the Cathedral in the centre of Christchurch has been made . The crumbling cathedral can now be symbol of Christchurch's rebirth. Now on with the port so cruise ships can return.:D https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/96558216/charlie-gates-crumbling-cathedral-can-now-be-symbol-of-christchurchs-rebirth https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/business/the-rebuild/96673748/christ-church-cathedral-is-to-be-restored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
