Rocky
Rocky is the name given to a 30-tonne boulder which rolled down a hillside during the February 22nd 2011 Christchurch earthquake and came to land in Phil Johnson's hallway.
To raise money for the earthquake victims, Mr. Johnson put the boulder up for auction on the Trademe website. The auction was a runaway success, being viewed 316,354 times (the third-highest number of views in Trademe's history). It eventually sold for NZ$60,000.
