I was 13 stories up in Sydney CBD when the Newcastle one hit. There's nothing like being in a shaky building watching the iron rebar on the construction site next door rock and roll :eekv1:


I was listening to a podcast the other day about someone on the 69th floor of World Trade Centre when plane hit

heck all of that

Mid NSW down to Tassie . Mansfield has a fair bit of damage . How lucky we are that we have Barnaby as acting PM

Should take him on a tour of the epicentre , maybe he will get an aftershock
 
Earthquake check in Everyone okay?
Yep. All good. No damage but felt like the whole slab of the house swaying back and forward for a good 40 seconds. Thank god it was centred in the Alps. Had that been closer to the city, I hate to think of the damage it would have caused.

Listened to the ABC regarding the earthquake, apparently there's a fault line or something similar going from the northwest to the southeast of Australia, so this region of VIC is prone to earthquakes.

It does through the great dividing range . Our defensive line against the Japs

The major one in Vic is the Selwyn fault. Runs from around Arthur's seat, up through Pearcedale and into the Dandenong's. Considering mountain ranges are caused by the pushing up of land due to the shifting of earth, anywhere along a mountain range (including the great dividing range) would likely experience earthquakes at points.
 
Congrats Millky, best of luck in the hunt. Here's my 2c

  • Extension cords
  • Double adapters x twice what you thought
  • Check every sink has a plug
  • brush & pan
  • glad wrap
kettle, small amount of crockery and cutlery, tea/coffee, one change of clothes, blanket/sleeping bag, pillow, nearest take-away shop menu.

Oh, if you're also planning on taking a computer, make sure have enough cabling.

If you're using wifi (why?) then make sure you're access point is somewhere good.
 
OK. I gotta know. Let's hear it.

So moving into a new property over several days, not staying yet cause there's no bed and shit.

You move during the day cause there's light , you know, from the sun.

Anyway fast forward a few days and we've finally got the bed and gonna spend our first night.

Sun sets, go to turn on the lights.

*click*

Nothing. several hours from nearest store, we figured out the previous tenant had removed ALL of the light bulbs before leaving.

First night, only the warm glow of the tv to keep us illuminated.

Now I always keep a lightbulb on me.
