My brother is a seismologist. His company does monitoring of this stuff. They always want feedback on what you felt so they can correlate it with the actual seismic readings.


2009 March 6, Korumburra, VIC ML 4.5 (Google map)
0955 UTC, 145.87°E, 38.43°S, 10 km deep
(Friday, March 6, 08:55 pm AEDT)
This earthquake occurred about 5km east of Korumburra, in the same area as the ML 3.7 earthquake on January 12. This earthquake has been felt widely throughout the epicentral region and across Melbourne. A number of small aftershocks occurred in the hour after this earthquake and are expected to continue for some days or weeks. Please fill out an intensity report if you felt this event or were in the epicentral area and did not feel anything.

ps. the website is currently kind of slow (a lot of people trying to get info) so if your submission fails, just retry after a little while.

I bet that would have mucked up a few alignments on a few scopes.

We felt it and heard it in Traralgon, Vic, then we are only 70-80km's east of korumburra, we get small tremors in the latrobe valley, i was always told it was due to the coal beneath us here, dunno if that is entirely true but i am sure Australia will subject to more intense quakes in the coming future we are slowly pushing up north, i remember watching a thing on the Australian plate pushing up under indonesia, in turn slowing creating what will probably become a super volcanoe so they say, anyway enough blabble...
