Thousands of paua have been thrust from their watery homes after the devastating 7.5 magnitude earthquake lifted the coastline on Monday morning.

Instead of spending our Melbourne Cup winnings on morning tea, the team at the The Marlborough Express bought this Lotto ticket for the region.
If it’s the winning ticket, we'll donate every cent to Marlborough.
How do you suggest we spend the winnings?

Our Kaikoura Star reporter Emma Dangerfield said the town felt isolated, though she knew pictures of the area were being beamed across the world.
