Whether the whole complex is being demolished or not I don't know., but here the centre block of three is being demolished.

The footpath besides ANZAC Drive and the Bexley Wetlands. Liquefaction silt from well underground has flowed to the surface. Photo taken less than three hours after the 4:35am earthquake.

Another city walk around, this time with my brother-in-law from Auckland. Also went to the Quake City exhibition in the city organised by the Canterbury Museum. First fine day for a while.
