That's the biggest and only third earthquake I've felt.

In Sydney it was a slow wobble for 15s or maybe 20s and the feeling from the desk was like being wobbly and dizzy before fainting. After about 10s I checked the water on the desk and saw it moving and it clicked.

I had reports of it felt very strong on the peninsula down in Melbourne, Adelaide and even Tasmania.

Ha Westy...great pic yesterday....but perhaps when Dan Andreas said "Unleash the earthquake"..it was code for his friends to surface in the backyard of the Victorian parliament in one of these......belt and road ya know....

Yep and the depth = 10km. We’ve been on this topic before @thermal

Oh wow, I'd totally forgotton that this was yet another conspiracy theory of yours.

Kinda funny... I saw a few social media posts yesterday (as per below), and thought 'surely this is one event of 2021 that won't be dragged down in an unnecessary conspiracy theory rabbit hole'. I lol'd.

But, of course.. Shortenism to the rescue! Please enlighten us.. all you said last time was "Some facets require critical thinking."

Yeah I was there for the Newy quake . A bang and some pretty violent shaking. Whole joint was in absolute chaos after it. I went to the beach after it , as you do , and with all the traffic lights out it was just a total free for all on the road. Footy fields , parks etc became temporary bypasses. Looking back it was irresponsible of me to go out unnecessarily and add more chaos to the road network for emergency services etc , and the surf was small and shit anyway , so in hindsight it wasn't smart. I was young , shoot me.
But just on the bird thing ,I was chilling outside in my yard surrounded by thick bushland about a year or so ago when a minor tremor hit , just enough to feel it . Oddly enough about a minute before it happened I noticed all the birds went silent , eerily so. Even the cicadas too. I also vividly remembering when the birds started back up it was as davetherave describes , more alarm type calls.

I made a point of going outside immediately after to check out the birds, and it was silent. Waited for about a minute and a honeyeater dropped out of a tree into a glide, then a bit of squawking began. It was a bit weird as each day is usually a cacophony of birds, with the cockies that nest locally the loudest, and often rosellas/parrots zipping by at full screech. There's even a currawong that shits purple berries over my drying wetsuits in nesting season, cheeky bugger...

Switching up to alternate research, here's a postulation sort-of on-topic to all the tunnelling stuff:

Deep Coal mining triggered Newcastle Earthquake. 11th Dec swellnet tbb...
https://www.swellnet.com/news/swellnet-dispatch/2020/12/10/surfers-head-...

Victoria said no to Fracking so Gas Exploration is shaking things up a bit...just a few Quakes so far!

NZ Plate pushes against & ramps the Lachlan Orocline Fold Southern Drift.
So this area is vulnerable if push came to shoving it aside for a sniff of Gas.

Victoria are Oz leaders in Gas Exploration off / on / above shore Seismic Surveys.
Vic eastern Alps have been pulverized from every angle in a short time frame to now.
Eastern Vic Seismic Surveys both offshore & onshore are ongoing.

2019 Alps Ground Seismic Gas Exploration
Fleets of Vibe Trucks hit the mountain pass then pause each 6km to pulverise the fuck outta faults.
Vic Alps Deep Crustal Seismic survey reverberates down 40-60km > 80km & more surveys to come.
What's of interest is that the Teams leave out the 63,000 Geophones o/n after each test..
Expensive & time consuming / crew can read that this is a post test seismic check for ongoing tremors.

2020/21 - Vic East / Southern Ocean Gas Exploration Seismic Testing off same Vic Coastline/s
tbb presented the Vic Gas Exploration > Earthquake Timeline...24 Aug 2020
https://www.swellnet.com/news/swellnet-dispatch/2020/02/25/equinor-aband...

2021/22 Vic / Alps / Islands Airborne Gravity Seismic Gas Exploration
Plane repeatedly flies constant & low (150m) reverberating Gravity pulse to Ground Markers.
(tbb did try, but is no expert on researching Airborne gravity waves )
https://www.land.vic.gov.au/surveying/surveying-news/airborne-gravity-su...

Victorian Lock downs usually signal the start of each Gas Exploration Seismic Testing...
eg: Vic Recalls fishing Fleets > Blast the Fuck outta Tectonic Plates to rumble some mountains.
Sure! Mega Marine Life gets plagued by more pests & hunt down more humans for ongoing relief.

The 5G does have a link to subterranean explosions..
All recall the new Shenzen Highrise rattling...
Both building & Subway is Shenzen 5G HQ...Yes! Testing at same time!
More than a few 5G mines are spooked afterwards by similar explosions / Collapse / Earthquakes.
The waves alter / disrupt air mass..Mine -5g Waves then flick off switch! Oh Fuck! Run! RUN!
So you don't really want people around during 5G / Seismic Tests...

As Newcastle, the air & water mass has a tipping point...very much as a pick strikes spot X ...Oh Fuck!
Crew know to replace what you take as you take it...otherwise it will cave in you!
tbb is from Coal Mining City Ipswich ...has holes opening up on a regular basis!

Gas / Water / Surface ruptures upset the delicate balance > Kaboom!
No shortage of Earthquakes where Man was just "Exploring / Digging Around"

Another Example ...disrupting a Rock / Thermals / Water flow during a Lightning storm...Zap!
A lot to be said for respecting the natural Forces...you fuck with that...then be prepared to pay!

Again...not a conspiracy...Dan will set ya straight!
Dan..."Shaking the shit outta Vic has nothing to do with the dodgy downtown CFMEU Brickies!"

Are you joking TBB ? A few holes into Tectonic Plates causing problems now ?

Still coming to grips with CO2 at 400p/m having a disastrous effect . It will get too much for my simple brain if you are being fairdinkem .

I wouldn't like anyone to put a hole into Yellowstone park and tamper with that but we are not on the Ring of Fire .

Ha ha i was joking yesterday that someone will try to link the shake to climate change somehow, havent seen it yet but this is close enough.

God what a stretch.

True story.

It's all about generating whistler-mode very low frequency signals that enter the magnetosphere and propagate to the other hemisphere,

Swear to god.

tbb stressed he is no expert in Seismic activity even less so Victoria...hardly serious!
Just tryin' to keep up with the crew...if the Vic ramped timeline presents as a joke...then maybe?

Vic Govt are currently paying for best ever Aerial / Ground / Sea Gas Exploration Seismic Surveys.
Tests are centred in same geographic region as Earthquake/s...stands to reason they're front & centre.
Meaning both time & place across whole of Vic if need be...Vic is racing out Seismic Surveys like Vax!

Obviously Vic Govt will first turn to these contractors to sound out Earthquakes....(Who else!)
Whether Seismic crews were cautious or not...they certainly know more about the Quakes than most!
Ocean surveys show 6kms deep & Alps Surveys show 80kms deep...reckon that 'd shake this up a bit!
Most of their surveys are commercial in confidence & worth quite a bit...so we won't get a rundown.

The Basin contractor ... Compagnie Generale Geophysique ...Viva La France!
French were also in on the Vic's Alps Seismic Surveys...
Perfect Timing...Oz PM dumps France & signs Joe's Nuke Sub & next day our Rainbow trembles.
Just saying...who better to blow up Australia than our fancy pretend mates! (A Joke!) Gulp!

As for Earthquake Faults from Sea to Mountains...or reverse currents flowing to sea!
Most recent Vic Earthquake reports of folk seeing Waves Rising to Snowfield Tremors.
Bass Canyon up Evard Canyon rips Lake Wellington Fault up the Navigation Fault to Quake Epicentre.
Clearly the offshore deep gas field exploration faults are as one with deep Alp gas exploration Faults!
The vid tbb cued shows the crew from Mountains to sea...claiming that was the end game..
Again...not serious as tbb only checked what seems obvious in the this field & familiar around Oz.
tbb understands of Mine Holdings in the area but also Native title comes into play.

First Nation Rainbow Serpent/s were said to cross the continent (Inland Sea) via similar ascension.
Can be argued these Natural Gas Outfalls keep Oz afloat & part drive EAC + largest marine migrations.

This site records historical Earthquakes to recent....most share the Vic faults & Gas Fields < > offshore

Nearly all recent Vic Earthquakes could also be argued to be in (Metal-Mineral)"Holdings"

Intra plate quake are strike slip faults, a release of elastic strain. TBB - go down the rabbit hole of Youngs Modulus, nothing else. I've been part of shallow 3D seismic surveys (<500m) and I can do farts bigger than the detonations required to propagate detectable seismic waves for a study. I cant speak for any of the surveys in Vic though.

There is a seismograph 50km inland from the coast.
I asked a GA specialist doing maintenance...whats that low pulsing line was on the bottom of the seismograph scroll print readout. He said "it was ocean waves hitting the coastline"
