Fellow Aussies; Did You All Just Feel That Big Rumble??

Fellow Aussies; Did You All Just Feel That Big Rumble??

Fellow Aussies, I just felt a massive rumble in Melbourne and myself and my house mates have confirmed with friends and relatives as far as the east coast of Victoria (East Gippsland; Lakes Entrance, Bairnsdale etc.) that it was felt there too; 356km's away!

I know minor earth tremors aren't all too rare but I haven't known them to span such a distance and that's just what we can confirm.

Fellow Aussies; did you feel it and where are you?

It was enough to send birds flocking from trees and squawking.

Where's the SME's? There WAS an earthquake in Japan this morning but would we feel that here and now?

Sorry mods, this is first-hand breaking news.

Here you go... fresh off the press..

MELBOURNE has been shaken by a substantial earthquake.

Reports are coming in from all over the city - from the Dandenongs in the east, Bentleigh in the southeast, Pascoe Vale in the west and through the inner city.

Windows were rattled and floors rocked as the tremor hit around 8.55pm local time and and lasted for around 30 to 40 seconds.

The Geoscience Australia website crashed as people flocked online to find out what occurred.

The Bureau of Meteorology said the quake was felt further afield than Melbourne, with reports coming in from Bright and Myrtleford in the northeast and Wonthaggi in the southeast of Victoria.
