South Island Children's Librarians' Conference 2008

Welcome to Christchurch

Banks' Peninsula

Welcome to Christchurch, the garden city on the east coast of the South Island. Flanked by harbours to the south, plains and mountains to the north and west and the Pacific Ocean to the east, Christchurch is a city of contrasts.

Christchurch offers a range of activities and attractions for everyone. There are a range of boutique shops, cosmopolitan restaurants, galleries, theatres and museums. For a change of pace board a vintage tram for a city tour or rise 1500m on a gondola for 360 views of the city. For history buffs visit Ferrymead Heritage Park or experience the Ko Kane, The Māori Experience at Willowbank. For the adventurous among you there is mountain biking on the Port Hills or Jet Boating on the Waimakariri river.

While you are here at Conference make yourself at home in our beautiful city. Why not stay a few extra days and enjoy everything Christchurch and Canterbury has to offer.
