Anyone else in Melbourne just feel that earth tremor. 8:55 pm on Tuesday night. Went for almost a minute here, and the house was really shaking. The biggest one I've ever felt.

Was felt as far away as Wangaratta. I thought my youngest was shaking my chair then realised it wasnt.

It sure was a good one, I thought there was a truck coming before I realized the whole place was shaking. Quite alarming because it went for so long.... I can't remember any others that bad.

Did anyone feel the after shocks? Apparently there was a few, I only felt one more about 10 mins after the initial.

Is this a sign of things to come???

By reading everyone's posts. You all felt it! From one who has no idea. Was it scarey?

The wife and girls were pretty scared. The dog went nuts!! She really didn't like it. I was more worried about opening my next can and copping a faceful of beer!
