Quake brings NZ closer to Aus
3:28PM Wednesday Jul 22, 2009 NZ Herald
The transtasman bond has become a wee bit tighter following last week's big earthquake in Fiordland.
The quake last Wednesday night was the largest to strike the country in 80 years.
The 7.8 magnitude quake which was centred in Fiordland appears to have twisted the South Island out of shape, moving it closer to Australia.
According to the Land Information's New Zealand-GeoNet global positioning system, Fiordland town Te Anau is now 100 millimetres closer to Australia.
The South Island's southwest tip Puysegur Point is 300 millimetres closer.

Wow! Isn't that interesting!?
From the title of this post, I thought you were moving closer to Australia! I guess you (and everyone else in the area) ARE moving closer!
Oh, dear! I hope they are making room for us!
Thank you for visiting here Bettyl. I have been a bit remiss lately and blogging has taken a second seat to other pursuits.
The Aussies will say that they have enough of us already in their country!
