The clock on the old Moorhouse Avenue Railway Station. The clock can be used to indicate when the earthquake occurred as it stopped when the earthquake struck.
Crack repairs on the Rendezvous Hotel in Gloucester Street. Cracks have been injected with epoxy resin using syringes. The epoxy resin leaves a peak around each hole which will be ground down to a smooth surface. The wall will then be repainted. This process actually makes the wall stronger than it was originally.
