Since Joseph was born and raised in Christchurch, we were especially fortunate to have him got our guide. Driving throughout the city and surrounding area, he shared not only a great deal of information about the history and the earthquake, but shared personal stories and his perspectives as well. We enjoyed our time on our own in the preserve song several birds in natural habitats.
