Text reads 'Solution to Christchurch sewage problems?...' A woman, with a roll of toilet paper in her hand, climbs a ladder to a toilet that is positioned on a sewage pipe high above the ground.

The shortage of accommodation in Christchurch due to earthquake damage led many air travellers to sleep overnight at the air terminal.
