Cracks along the road in Avonside Drive. The riverbank has slumped towards the river, separating the land from the road and creating these cracks. Road cones warn drivers of the uneven surface. In the distance, a pile of liquefaction can be seen in front of a house.

A police officer talks to the driver of a NZ Post truck at a cordon across Tuam Street. Military personnel stand nearby. The photographer comments, "this was taken shortly after the 4th September earthquake. Police allowed us free access past the cordon and simply advised us to watch out for falling masonry. The access situation was much different after the February aftershock".
