The bridge on River Road just before the Banks Ave turn off. Looking down at the Avon River side of the Shirley Stream bridge showing how much the ground has slumped by - notice the unpainted concrete now exposed.

The base of the tower on the right of this picture has sunk about 25cm so that the lower course of bricks have disappeared below ground level. Meanwhile the other end of the building has sunk about 50cm splitting the building into thirds. The sand you can see is what came bubbling up out of the ground due to liquifaction.
