Default Did the earth move for you?

Just had a bit of a tremor here in Wheelers Hill.

Did anyone else feel it? It went for about 30 seconds here at 8:55 PM.

House was just shook up for about ten seconds.

Default Earth tremor

Unbelievable tremor here in Sth east Melbourne @ 2055.
lasted a good 45 seconds or more, could hear bottles in the pantry rattling.
I initially thought it was part of the audio from watching Bikie wars!

Felt it in Eildon, people I know felt it in Alexandra, Buxton and friends as far away as Emerald also felt it.... Now that is some spread.
