The result of the magnitude 7.1 Christchurch earthquake at 4.35am on September 4th 2010. Taken from Dallington Terrace looking towards Avonside Drive. This pumping station used to be level. When the tide is in that flax bush on the bend appears to be growing from the middle of the river, suggesting the land has slumped about a meter.
The pumping station at the corner of New Brighton Road and Palmers Road. New Brighon Road is still closed (2 weeks after quake) at this point.
