Silt-laden water flows into the Avon River. The photographer comments, "Corner River Rd, Banks Ave, Dallington Tce. Dirty water from Dudley Creek meets the Avon".
The center of the river has slumped and the two banks have moved about a meter closer together which caused this footbridge to be so twisted. There is a suggestion that this be left as a memorial to the earthquake.
