Post subject: Melbourne earthquake | |
|
Happened just after 9am. I assume everyone in metro Melbourne felt the tremor?
Early reports saying it was a magnitude 5.6 earthquake _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |
