After surviving terrorist attacks in Indonesia and major flooding and cyclones in Queensland, Tracy Hyde is another one not phased by Canterbury's ongoing aftershocks.
Although originally from Auckland, Tracy and her partner are planning on moving to Christchurch permanently after three-and-a-half years in Queensland.
Tracy is no stranger to disasters.
"We were moving from central Queensland to Brisbane as the floods were happening around us. We got trapped in one town but got out. We arrived into Brisbane only a few days before the floods happened there. Our area was not directly affected, only the beach close to our home was trashed with everything that travelled down the river, trees, pontoons, furniture, farm animals, snakes, building equipment, signage that came from areas 150km away.
"I was in the 2002 Bali bombing so I think I can handle the aftershocks, I think once you have been through a bombing you can take on a lot."
