Obvious seeing why the Summit Road has been closed below Mt Cavendish since the February 22 2011 earthquake. There are some large rocks there!
Went into this cafe a few times in years gone by (all on camera club field trips or photowalks). It was a nice two-storey building then. Not now after the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011.

Was the fourth highest building in the city pre earthquakes, but it's future is uncertain. Was for sale "as is, where ...

Awaiting demolition
Awaiting demolition. Blue pipes are water supply to anyone still living on Hulverstone Drive.
Prior to the earthquakes (mainly the February 22 2011 event) this park bench was at track level.
