O my goodness...We are rock and rollin' today in southern Australia...First some surprise late spring snow in Tasmania + the Victorian Alps and now an earthquake in South Australia for a bit of variation... https://t.co/vpJQZASSmn

a 'shake' on the Mornington Peninsula?....
Yes...I am absolutely sure we had a 'shake' in Dromana a few minutes ago... https://t.co/mtNTAW0Fsp

YES...Brief, but solid shake...

YES...We did have an earthquake tonight in my world...Dromana...Found the record...

Biggest quake today: 2.3 quake Bass Strait, 15 km west of Mornington, Victoria, Australia, Nov 5, 2021 7:05 pm (GMT +11) 41 minutes agohttps://t.co/2jMVBoNFeW
Felt it on the hill in McCrae… small feint rumble then bang like a car crash. Maybe 4-4.5?
— Liz Grant (@Canvasgal) November 5, 2021
Definitely felt a solid shake in Dromana...very brief though...And yes...Come to think of it, there was a 'bang' first...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) November 5, 2021
Yep. I’m in Rosebud, my brother in Capel Sound texted me about it immediately after we felt it.

earthquake in Mt Martha this morning + Tassie last night...
These earthquake events are getting just a tad too close to home...

Mt Martha is 'just down the road' from Dromana... https://t.co/OhC5mYwOzp
Talking of earthquakes at Mt Martha on the Mornington Peninsula this morning, just found this earthquake news coming from Tasmania...(Swansea+Bicheno are on the east coast)...

earthquake begins the weekend...
An interesting way to begin the weekend...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 8, 2021
Other reports are suggesting it was about a 3.0 magnitude + shallow...
In Pinnaroo (pop. 720) 12 miles from the epicentre, and Murrayville (pop. 280) 17 miles away, the quake should = light shaking.https://t.co/HYsfrLu5VB https://t.co/NKHdErpmXQ

earth tremor 5.4-6.0 magnitude...
MORE SURPISES: I think a quite significant earth tremor just occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) September 21, 2021
(2 significant house movements + floor shaking. In fact I held the table for stability.)
I am in Dromana on the hillside of Arthurs Seat.
My daughter lives in the Riverina, Temora southern NSW...She is saying people in her area felt it too...even though she did not...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) September 21, 2021

It is being said that this is the biggest earthquake in Melbourne for 100 years...This morning's large #earthquake (up to 6 magnitude) has been felt in #Tasmania, #SA, #NSW and of course #Victoria. #Epicentre was in #Mansfield, NE of #Melbourne. No tsunami threat, but there are early damage reports from parts of Victoria. pic.twitter.com/8OAImejQkd
— Madre Swift Justice - Cave Dweller (@JayStill4) September 22, 2021
So strange that this happened right after Daniel Andrews' early morning 8:15am presser (tremor @8:45am) where he said that the construction industry has been locked down for 2 weeks because it has 350 cases across 150 sites = larger number of cases than in aged care...This was the only industry allowed to remain open during the pandemic...But now he said that the industry needs a 're-set' - which could easily be translated as a 'shake-up' (and Mother Nature obliged to stand by him?)
I agree, thousands of tradies were saved from falling off scaffolding today. Bravo!

Here's the latest from Geoscience Australia:
— Chelsea Hetherington (@chelsea_hetho) September 22, 2021
- Initial #earthquake: magnitude 5.8 (downgraded from 6.0) at a depth of 10km at 9:15am
- Aftershock: magnitude 4.0 at a depth of 12km at 9:33am
- Aftershock: magnitude 3.1 at a depth of 6km at 9:54am
DONE...I felt it was the right thing to do for research purposes. I still can't believe the strong shaking of walls and floor vibrations I felt TWICE (one wave after the other, seconds apart) here in Dromana...Yet nothing fell from shelves...Totally weird...

Perhaps only a small earthquake...But this one is near my earlier life in NSW... A 3.9 earthquake was there January 4, 2017. 22nd May, 1961, not too far away, in the Southern Highlands, a 5.5 at Robertson was felt for 50,000 square miles. A 4.2 in 2003 at nearby Mittagong. https://t.co/SLiNkz8M7V
