Earthquake in South east Melbourne

This is an eye opener, surprised me. Bob


Romsey Australia: Volcanic eruption risk and maps

and;
"South Australian earthquake epicentres occur in two main seismic zones. The major zone, within the Adelaide Geosyncline, extends from Kangaroo Island through the Mount Lofty Ranges and Flinders Ranges to Leigh Creek.
The second seismic zone is on Eyre Peninsula where some epicentres may be associated with the Lincoln Fault. There are two other zones, one near Kingston SE, and the other in the Simpson Desert in the far north - possibly the most active seismic zone on the Australian continent." :eek:




"

The greatest earthquake risk in Queensland is in Central Queensland.
A fault line just 30 kilometres west of Bundaberg ( the origin of a quake at least 5.4 in magnitude in 1935 ) has the potential for another large earthquake. " Buggar!

That's starting to get interesting , the 6 + are fun, we had a 8.2 here in 87, everything fell down and had to rebuild.

Of course the depth can make a huge difference
I've been through the red ones in my old town

So long as the Rum factory survives. If it got wrecked I would have one ****ed off SWMBO.

Now we have all heard the saying, Happy wife, Happy life.
