Caption reads: "Yeah yeah, I know, but you’ve got to look. It’s incredible what’s happened to these places. It’s not something you see everyday and once it’s gone, it’s gone forever."
Caption reads: "You can’t do a thing about it but I can’t be bothered going house hunting. I’ll just live each day as best I can. I keep thinking it could change again. The dust here doesn’t bother me, the noise doesn’t bother me. When they start pulling down houses the vibrations don’t bother me. Nothing bothers me. We’re all like that. That’s how you have to be when you can’t do a thing about it."
Caption reads: "At the moment we’re trying to carry on like everything is normal. It’s not easy. It’s hard sometimes to remember what things were like before the earthquake."
