A very different looking Castle Rock to what was there pre earthquakes.
The South New Brighton Domain jetty into the Avon-Heathcote Estuary. A new jetty replaced an older one about 6-8 years ago, then the earthquakes happened! Before the earthquakes it was straight and level and open!
Eighty years and then the damage was done. Result of the earthquake on 22/02/11.

Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrameny aka Christchurch Basilica
Post the earthquakes land has sunk and in this case the track is below high tide level. It would have been at least 500mm above the highest tide level prior to the recent earthquakes that started on 04/09/10.
Hopefully will be open again later this month - 25 months afer the February earthquake.
Strange sign when the building it refers to is no longer there. Earthquake damage.
