yeah the house just shook hear for about 20 second first a kind of vibration noise then the house shook, thats in east melbourne.

Felt it for a few seconds out in the western suburbs. Seems to have hit most of Melbourne.

Hmm.. I moved to Melbourne to get away from the quakes in Christchurch. Not as big as the aftershocks over there, but still a decent shake for a place that rarely gets quakes.

North central Vic felt it to, must have been biggish

started off strong here and the finishing quarter was a slow settle down, i wonder if theirs gonna be any more? that
ride was fun!

Felt in Heidelberg , diamond creek , thomastown any idea on depth?

Well I have been a lurker for about 7 years and had to sign up after experience my first real earthquake!

Its Just on Sky News now!

Crazy - I am in Rowville, East Melbourne.

Woooahhh!
We're up near the border Albury, & it was a pretty decent shake-up here as well!
Anyone know what magnitude?

i live northwest? Melbourne. sunbury, that would have been one on the fault line through bass straight.
did tassie feel it?

wouldnt have a clue, but as a guestamation id say 200ft??? lol i dunno, and my best gues is pl8 slip as passing over under??

Bloody eastern staters.. getting all the fun.

Even when us WA'ers have a tornado it only hits the snobby burbs. bugger!



Western Aus will sink and no one would know until the mines all got soggy. lol

Joking aside, hope no one got hurt - spose we'll hear it on the news just before midnight here.

We are in, after all, Wait Awhile country over here..
