The small town of Seddon, the closest town to the weekend's earthquakes, is cleaning up after the damage wrought by the tremors.
Marie Flowerday, who owns several homes and buildings in the area said engineering checks had cleared her properties of any structural damage.
One of her flats, which is
rented to seasonal workers from Kiribati has some exterior damage, an outside wall that crumbled.
"They'll take all the block work down and re-clad it," she said.
What was worse was that her tenants were spooked.
