No, too far away. Thanks for the link though, having gone through the Newcastle earthquake in 1989, I looked it up on your link.:)

link comes up as error :(

Hardly anyone lives in the earthquake affected zone except for the occasional gas driller and perhaps a lost tourist or two. It's serious desert country.

so where was it?

I cant get info from the link....

[bee utey]

Link's gone now but it was somewhere north of Lake Torrens and south of the Oodnadatta Track. You may have possibly felt it around Leigh Creek.

between the 10th of May and 4th of June , South Australia has experienced 21 earth tremors......

btw....there is a reasonable population living in the area that experienced the earthquake on 4th June......if you call hundreds reasonable.

It may be serious desert country , but people live and eek out a living there , many I know.

out of interest I tried to find a list of how many tremors/quakes have happened in South Australia this year.

the info above I found easily but I'm buggered if I can get a list for the year so far.

if anyone else is as interested as I am and can find that info , I'd love to see it.

very interesting Bob.

if I had my life again I would be a geoscientist or volcanoligist

nobody told me these jobs were available when I was young....

That is Interesting Bob.
Studying Earthquakes and the Weather is a Hobby of mine.
Apart from general Interest to some others,I originally started this thread to try and get an Understanding of how far it might have been felt. They do tell you this on the Geoscience website, but often speaking to people about the type of shaking etc gives a better understanding of what was going on. Given it was shallow, but fairly strong (above 3) I was Interested to see peoples reaction.
Yes, as your Article points out, Australia is quite active underfoot. This is what sparked my Interest many moons ago.
When you get right into it, it really is fascinating.

Yes interesting work, & not stuck in an office. However, the more I read about volcanoes , the more it frightens me. We live on a very unstable planet, constantly evolving , & moving. BTW, I would have loved to be Indiana Jones :D Bob

well I would like to be Jack West....
