About

On 8 August 1979, a major landslip occurred in the Dunedin suburb of Abbotsford. It was the largest landslide in a built-up area in New Zealand's history, resulting in the destruction of 69 houses – around one sixth of the suburb – but no fatalities. Abbotsford sits on the slopes of a hill in the southwest of Dunedin, separated from the main urban area by open semi-rural land.

A pictorial record of the leadup to and consequences of the landslip.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.

Remarks

Increasingly scarce
