Australia has deployed a small aftershock monitoring network using Kelunji
Echo seismographs, which, in conjunction with data from the SRC earthquake monitoring
network, will assist in delineating the fault upon which these
earthquakes are occuring.
Please fill out an intensity report if you felt any of these
earthquakes, or if you were in the epicentral area and did not feel
anything.

This list includes
significant events within the area covered by the SRC seismograph network.
Unless otherwise noted, earthquake locations have been computed by the
SRC (network code: MEL
Most magnitudes are given
on the Richter local magnitude scale (ML) but other scales such as
moment magnitude (MW) or surface wave magnitude (MS) are used for
larger earthquakes
Earthquake depths in
eastern Australia range from just beneath the surface to about 20 km.
If there is no seismograph near an epicentre it is difficult to
determine the depth, so a "normal depth" of 10 km is assumed
If you felt any of these
earthquakes, or especially if you were near an epicentre at the time of
the event and DID NOT feel it, please fill out an intensity
report
