Dave, is it at all possible for you to relocate to sufficiently far away
location?

Hi all,
I was going to write something yesterday but decided not to. But now
that I have some photos I thought I may as well.
We had a magnitude 4.9 aftershock at about 10:30 yesterday morning
local time (Boxing Day). It was centered very close to the CBD, in
fact it seems to be about half a km from my mother's house.
We were in the art gallery at the time, having a look at the Ron
Mueck sculpture exhibition. That building is about the best place to
be - it was used as the centre of operations for Civil Defence during
the period after the main 7.1 quake. It's fairly new and very
sturdy.
It'd been about a month since we'd had anything really noticeable and
a jolt like that was a bit of a wakeup. It was sizable enough to
close a number of historic buildings and part of the city pedestrian
mall. I haven't looked closely but I don't think there's any extra
damage at home. We had one small ornament topple over.
Anyway, today we went to see the other exhibition that we couldn't go
to yesterday as its building had been closed. I'd heard there had
been some damage to the aquarium building in Cathedral Square so I
took my camera and here are some photos.

This is the only building in the square which had obvious visible
damage after the main quake so I'm not really surprised that those
bricks came down.
Cheers, Dave
