Earth tremor rocks metropolitan Melbourne
March 7, 2009 - 9:15PM


The centre of Melbourne has been rocked by an earth tremor, with worried residents reporting buildings shaking across the metropolitan area.

Householders from Reservoir, in the city's north, to Kew and Cheltenham, southeast of Melbourne, said they felt the tremor - which lasted a few seconds - shortly before 9pm (AEDT), on Friday.

A spokeswoman for Victoria Police also said there had been an earth tremor but said there were no reports of any damage immediately after the incident.

Further information and comment was being sought from Geoscience Australia, which monitors earthquake activity.

Wow. That's my second. First was in Darwin a few years back, it sounded like a 747 flying over head, except there was no doppler shift in the noise for the duration.

Maybe Tasmania is trying to rejoin the mainland?

I was in Newcastle for the big one, something I will never forget. I was lying in bed half asleep, and opened my eyes wondering why the tips of the ceiling fan above me were touching the ceiling.

I raced outside and was greeted by waves travelling up the concrete driveway, which (I still can't explain this) didn't crack.

That was like a bomb going off. A deep rumble followed by a huge BANG and shake.

According to the USGS, the epicentre was 90km ESE of Melbourne, just east of Westernport Bay.. so I'm not surprised you felt it in Moe. I *am* surprised people in Bacchus Marsh did :lol:

Cause and effect! We know who the culprit is.

You crap your pants and then noticed an earthquake? Or was it the other way around?

Either way it's time to change your undies. :lol:
