Excavators and construction crews have begun clearing the slips along here, with expectations of having the road entirely cleared by the end of the year:

I don't know if you can see this without being on Facebook but it's a post-quake photo of Jimmy Armers Beach.

Kaikoura Minibackpackers is/was an amazing little random homestay that I happened upon many years ago when Mr. Eldon decided to put his sign out.

Of course I forgot the link

Great news! It looked so devastated with the slips and the railway lines just about in the ocean it will be a big job. It will probably take all year however.

I heard about this yesterday. Great work done by this.
