Description: Christchurch roads, especially those on lands reverted to swamp, are shown as rough, uneven and the experience of driving them akin to a rollercoaster. As one driver comments 'Woohoo! With Chch roads, who needs the Aussie theme parks!' Since the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 roads in Christchurch on land prone to liquefaction, are still potholed and needing repair. Driving on them at any speed can resemble a rollercoaster in the Australian theme parks. Many Christchurch inhabitants have travelled there as a respite from local problems.

Description: Three cars are bouncing along a rough Christchurch road, with the drivers, and one dog, leaning out of the car windows in an effort to keep them stable. One driver says 'With Chch roads, we're always in America's Cup mode!'

Christchurch drivers were still experiencing the earthquake-damaged and hurriedly repaired roads of the city three years after the earthquakes. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
