The cargo containers have been nicely converted, brightly painted and smartly branded to create some good looking stores".

A damaged car sits on top of the rubble of the Bealey Pharmacy.

A new feature now also appears to be a large pile of rubble with a new looking red Holden placed on top. Weird".
