Australian Earthquake News
produced by the ES&S Seismology Research Centre (SRC)

• 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.
