This can be just a solemn mark of respect. We were in Tauranga today. The ship was tied up in port just a kilometre from the very pretty Mount Maunganui. We took a minor bus tour from the entrance to the port and the tour was slightly different from usual. The reason was just ~4 weeks before (22 Feb) a landslide had enveloped a camping area below the mountain and had killed 6 people. Two others died the same morning in another landslide in Papamoa. As we were informed at the end of the tour. Tremors are common in NZ and I somewhat remember a news report, but it was unexpected regardless. No pic, but you can chase it up on the Net.
