Unstable land causes anxiety for seniors in crumbling house

The pensioners say that about a decade ago, they started seeing small cracks in the walls of the house, and as time passed by, they discovered that the cause was a landslip slowly occurring on their property based on the Barracks River Road’s breakaway.
